Answer:

A: 48in2

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width

The complete figure is rectangular in shape with:

Length = 11 in

Width = 5 in

Area = 11 x 5

Area = 55 in2

The pink part is triangular in shape with:

height = 4in

Base = 3.5 in

Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x height

Area of the pink portion = 0.5 x 3.5 x 4

Area of the pink portion = 7 in2

Area of the blue portion = (total Area) - (Area of the pink portion)

Area of the blue portion = 55 in2 - 7 in2

Area of the blue portion = 48 in 2

Hope this help you!
