Answer 1

Explanation:

area=(16+10)/2 ×4+10×6

=13×4+60

=52+60

=112 in²

or

area=10×10+1/2×4×6

=100+12

=112 in²

Answer 2

A = 112 in²

Explanation:

First, find the area of the square, which is 10 in. by 10 in.

10 × 10 = 100 in²

Next, find the area of the triangle using the formula: 1/2(base × height)

The base is 10 in. - 6 in. = 4 in.

The height is 16 in. - 10 in. = 6 in.

A = (1/2)(4 × 6) = (1/2)(24) = 12 in²

Add the two areas.

100 in² + 12 in² = 112 in²
