Question

What is the area of the figure composed of a parallelogram, a square, and a rectangle?

Answer 1

Let's cut the figure into:

Parallelogram, square, and rectangle.

Let's find the area of the parallelogram first:

10 x 3.5 = 35

Let's find the area of the square:

4 x 4 = 16

When given one length of a square you already know are sides and lengths are equal so therefore 1 given length of a square is all the lengths.

Let's find the area of a rectangle:

6 x 12.5 = 75

Now let's add all the areas up:

35 + 16 + 75 = 126 square inches is your answer.
