Answer:

160 square inches

Explanation:

You can split the irregular figure up into regular shapes:

the top 4x6 inch rectangle

the middle section can be a 18x6 rectangle (added 7+11 for the length)

the bottom 4x7 rectangle (sibtracted 10-6 for the width)

Then, find the area of each section with the equation A = lw.

A= 4(6) = 24 square inches

A = 18(6) = 108 square inches

A = 4(7) = 28 square inches

Add these areas up to get the total area of the irregular figure.

24 + 108 + 28 = 160 square inches
