Solution :
The given figure consists of two shapes that are a triangle and a square . To find the total area of the figure we will first find the area of the triangle then that of the square and add them .
Let's work on this ,
- Area of triangle
-
In the given figure the base of the triangle is 12 inches and it's height is 8 inches .
Now lets find the area of the square ,
- Area of square = Side × Side
- 12 × 12
- 144 inches²
Total area of the figure
- Area of triangle + Area of square
- 48 + 144
- 192 inches²
