Answer 2

325 square inches

Explanation:

Consider the attachment below for further reference. Ideally we would split this figure into parts, and solve as demonstrated by the attachment. I have labeled each rectangle as rectangle 1, rectangle 2, rectangle 3 etc. ;

`Rectangle 1 Area = 17 in * 5 in = 85 square in\\Rectangle 2 Area = ( 17 in - 5 in ) * 14 in = 168 square in,\\Rectangle 3 Area = ( 12 in - 3 in ) * 8 in = 72 square in\\\\Total Area = 85 + 168 + 72 = 325 square inches`

Hope that helps!
