D.) 91 in²
​

Answer 1

D. 91 in.^2

Explanation:

We have two shapes, a square and a triangle.

Area of a square = lw

Area of a triangle = (lw)1/2

Starting off with the square...

A = lw

A = 7 x 7

A = 49

Next with the triangle...

A = (lw)1/2

A = (12 x 7)1/2

A = (84)1/2

A = 42

Add together the areas...

42 + 49

91 in^2

Answer 2

i have given two ways to work it out
area= D 91in^2
