Answer:

B. 105.6 square inches

Explanation:

If you split the figure into a rectangle in the middle, and two triangles on the sides, you'll notice that if you move one of the triangles to the other side, the figure will become a rectangle again.

6.9 + 4.1 = 11

11 times 9.6 = 105.6 square inches

If this is slightly difficult for you to understand, you can easily just find the area by splitting the figure into a rectangle and two triangles but not moving anything and finding the areas separately.

Rectangle: 6.9 times 9.6 = 66.24

Triangle 1: 0.5(4.1 times 9.6) = 19.68

Triangle 2: Same as triangle 1

Now add up the areas: 66.24 + 19.68 + 19.68 = 105.6 square inches
