Answer:
I would break the shape into shapes I know how to use. This is a rectangle and two triangles. The are of the triangles is 1/2*base*height or 1/2*√17*8 (I got √17 by using the pythagorean theorem to find the other length of the triangle) and that means the area of one triangle is 16.49. Since there are two, the combined area of the triangles is 32.98. The area of the rectangle is base*height or (14 - √17 is 9.88 as the base) 9.88 * 8 or 79.04. Then add up the areas. 32.98 + 79.04 = 112.02 which can be rounded to D) 112 sq in
