Answer:
49.5 square inches
Explanation:
We can split the figure into two easier shapes to find the area of; a triangle and a square.
The formula for a triangle is (b*h)1/2. Once we solve we get 24.5 or 24 1/2.
The formula for a square is l*w. Once we solve we get 25.
To find the area of the shaded region, we would add both area and get 49.5 or 49 1/2 square inches.
