Answer 1

Answer: B, 70 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start slow and go shape by shape.

Based on the information we have, we know that the length for the rectangle is 8 inches by 7 inches. 8*7 = 56, so we have one of the answers.

Next, we do the triangle. Based on the information we have, we know that the triangle is 4 inches by 7 inches divided by 2. 4*7 = 28 $\frac {28}{2} = 14$

Adding 14 and 56, we got the answer to be B, 70 inches.
