Answer:

636 in.²

Explanation:

First divide the shape into three pieces, you will get a triangle and two rectangles, the base of the triangle is 30 in. The height is 8 in. Multiply 30×8 to get 240 and then divide by two to get 120. Next the rectangle on top has sides that are 24 in. and 8 in. You will get 192. Lastly the rectangle on the bottom has sides of 54 in. and 6 in. For this you will get 324. Finally you add up 120+192+324 to get 636 in.²
