Answer: C. 242

Explanation:

So first you need to know the formulas for the shapes (trapezoid and rectangle) to solve it.

Trapezoid- A= 1/2(b1+b2)h

Rectangle- L x W.

So to plug in numbers for trapezoid should look like: 1/2(13+24) (4)

1/2 (37) (4)

(18.5) (4)

=74.

For rectangle: 7 x 24= 168.

So add them together and you should have your answer. 168+74=242 in.

I hope this helped!!! :)
