Hi there!
[tex]\large\boxed{A = 1200in^{2}}[/tex]
To solve, we can divide the figure into a rectangle and triangle:
The rectangle has dimensions 20in and 30in. The formula A = l × w will be used to find the area.
The triangle has dimensions 40 (10 + 20 + 10) in and 30 in. The formula A = 1/2(b· h) can be used to find the area.
Find the area of each shape:
A = 20 × 30 = 600in²
A = 1/2(40 × 30) = 600in²
Find the sum of both to find the area of the total figure:
600 + 600 = 1200in²
