Answer:
18 sq. inches.
Explanation:
The total figure consists of a parallelogram and a rectangle.
Now, the parallelogram has base length 2 inches and the height is 2 inches.
So, area of the parallelogram will be = Base × Height = 2 × 2 = 4 sq. inches.
Now, the rectangle has a width of 2 inches and a height of 7 inches.
So, the area of the rectangle = Length × Width = 7 × 2 = 14 sq. inches.
Therefore, the total area of the figure will be (14 + 4) = 18 sq. inches. (Answer)
