Answer: 48 in^2
Explanation:
Let's solve each shape
1. The first shape is a rectangle; take 5 times 2 = 10 in^2
2. The second shape is a square; take 2 times 2 = 4 in^2
We see that there are 4 rectangles and 2 squares.
So, we take 10 times 4 = 40 in^2
Then we take 4 times 2 = 8 in^2
Then we add 40 with 8 = 48 in^2
