`55`

The answer is b

Answer 2

55 sq. in.

Explanation:

Area of figure

= area of triangle + area of rectangle

height of triangle = 6 in.

base of triangle = 6/(sqrt(3)/3) = 18/sqrt(3)

Area of triangle = 6*18/sqrt(3) /2 = 54/sqrt(3) = 31.18 sq. in.

Area of rectangle = 6 * 4 = 24 sq. in

Area of figure = 31.18+24 = 55.18 sq. in
