Answer:

42 in.²

Explanation:

We need to find the area of the rectangle and then the triangle and then add them up. For the rectangle its 6 x 5 = 30 and for the triangle its 6 x 4 = 24/2 = 12 *we have to divide by 2 because we are finding the area of a triangle*. So we add 30 + 12 = 42 so your answer is 42 in.²

:DDD hope I was able to help

Answer:

Area = 42 in^2

Explanation:

here's your solution

=> divide above picture in two parts

=> rectangle and traingle

=> area of rectangle = length* width

=> area of rectangle = (5*6)in.

=> area of rectangle = 30 in^2

=> now, area of traingle = 1/2*base *height

=> area of traingle = 1/2*4*6

=> area of traingle = 12 in^2

=> area of figure = 30 in^2 + 12 in^2

=> Area = 42 in^2

hope it helps
