The Answer Is 108

Find the top length by adding 8+6=14

And the sides are the same length, meaning the sides are equivalent to 6.

6x14=84.

To find the sides for the the other rectangle, do 9-6 to get the side 3.

3x8=24

Add both areas to get 108 Inches Squared.

Answer:

Its 108 because you have to split up the rectangles so when you cut them in half you will have 2 separate rectangles 1 with a base of 8 and a height of 9 so you will multiply those so 9 x 8 = 72 then just do the other two so 6 x 6 = 36 now you add those together 36 + 72 = 108 hope that helps
