Answer:
96 inch²
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 2 shapes,
1. a square
2. a triangle
lets find the area of the square first,
AREA = SIDE × SIDE
= 8 × 8
= 64 inch²
now, area of triangle ,
[tex]area \: = \frac{1}{2} \times base \: \times height \: [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 8 \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 64 \\ = 32 \: {inch}^{2} [/tex]
so, total area is :
area of square + area of triangle
= 64 + 32
= 96 inch²
