Question

What is the simplest way to explain how to do this?

Answer 1

96 in^2. Find the area of the square, then the area of the triangle. After that, add them together.

Explanation:

First, let's find the area of the square:
A = lw
A = 8 x 8
A = 64

Now, let's find the area of the triangle.
A = 1/2lh
A = 1/2(8)(8)
A = 1/2(64)
A = 32

Now, all we have to do is add 64 and 32 to get the total area

64 + 32 = 96

Answer 2

96

Explanation:

area of a triangle = h x b/2 which means ill do

8 x 8 = 64

then 64/2

32

8x8 (again) = 64

64+32 = 96
