Solution

The correct option is A
84 inches2

The area of the figure can be calculated in three steps:

i) Find the area of the small rectangle.

ii) Find the area of the large rectangle.

iii) Find the area of the triangle

Total area = (i) + (ii) + (iii)

i) Area of the small rectangle = length x breadth = 5 x 6 = 30 inches2

ii) Area of the large rectangle = 12 × 4 = 48 inches2

iii) Area of the triangle = ( <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> 12) × (height) × (base)
= 12 × 3 × 4 = 6 inches2

Area of the shape = Area of the small rectangle + Area of the large rectangle + Area of the triangle = (30 + 48 + 6) inches2 = 84 inches2
