Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  53 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ?

Process: divide the shape in one rectangle and one triangle.

Area of rectangle

                            A = base x height

                            A = 8 x 6

                            A = 48 in²

Area of rectangle

                          base = 13 - 8

                                   = 5 in

                          height = 6 - 4

                                     = 2 in

                          Area = (b x h) / 2

                                   = (5 x 2) / 2

                                   = 10 / 2

                                   = 5 in²

Total area = 48 + 5 = 53 in²
