Question

how do i solve this problem

Answer 1

split the figure into a trapezoid and a triangle

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(b1+b2) h
= 1/2(2 +6) * 4
= 2(8)
= 16 in^2

Area of triangle = 1/2 bh
= 1/2(6)(3)
= 9 in^2

Area of figure = Area of trapezoid + Area of triangle
= 16  in^2 + 9  in^2
= 25  in^2

Answer:
C.  25 square inches
