Answer:

The area of the figure = 112 in²

Explanation:

The figure consist of:

1) A square of side length of 10 in.

2) A right triangle with a base of (10 - 6 = 4 in) and a height of (16 - 10 = 6 in)

So,

The area of the square = (side length)² = 10² = 100 in²

The area of the triangle = 0.5 * height * base = 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 in²

So,

The total area = 100 + 12 = 112 in²

The area of the figure = 112 in²
