9514 1404 393
Answer:
468 square inches
Explanation:
The way dimensions are labeled on the figure suggests a simple division and easy calculation.
Left part: 17 in by 16 in. A= LW = (17 in)(16 in) = 272 in^2
Right part: 14 in by 14 in. A = LW = (14 in)(14 in) = 196 in^2
__
Total area = left part + right part
Total area = 272 in^2 + 196 in^2 = 468 in^2
