Answer:
84 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, separate this shape into two shapes you can easily find the area of. You can do this by turning it into a rectangle and a rhombus.
Say the rectangle has measurements of 5 by 6 inches. The area of that rectangle will be 30 square inches. Save this value to add on later.
The rhombus now has a height of 4 (because the side length 10 minus the side length 6 equals 4), and two bases by the values of 12 and 15. The area of a rhombus can be found with the equation:
a = 1/2(b1 + b2) x h
Simply plug in those values to find the area of the rhombus, 54. Now add the area of the rhombus and the area of the rectangle to get 84 square inches as your final area.
