Image shows a polygon that looks like a rectangle with a triangle attach to the left side of it closer to the top. The polygon has 5 sides. The top side of the polygon is 12 inches. The right side is perpendicular to the top side and is 7 inches. The bottom side is perpendicular to the right side and is 8 inches. The left side has two segment parts. The bottom part of the left side is perpendicular to the bottom and is 4 inches high. The last segment is slanted connecting the 4 inch side to the top side. This side is not labeled

Answer 1

62 square inches

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the composite figure is equal to the area of a rectangle plus the area of a triangle

so

`A=(8)(7)+(1)/(2)(7-4)(12-8)`

`A=56+6=62\ in^2`
