2. 96 square inches
3. 120 square inches
4. 80 square inches

Answer 1

Area of bottom two rectangles

• 2LB
• 2(8)(4)
• 64in²

Height of triangles=7-4=3in

Area of above two triangles.

• 2×1/2BH
• BH
• 3(8)
• 24in²

Total area

• 24+64=88in²

Answer 2

Solution given:

For rectangle

length [L]=BC=16in

breadth [b]=AB=4in

For traingle

length[l]=8in

breadth [b]=3in

total area =area of rectangle ABCD+2×area of triangle DEF

=L×b+2×1/2×[b×h]

=16×4+8×3=88in² is your answer
