28 in^2
Divide shape into one rectangle and two squares:
Area of rectangle:
10 x 2 = 20 in^2
Area of one square:
2 x 2 = 4 in^2
Multiply that by 2 because we have 2 squares similar in size:
4 in^2 x 2 = 8 in^2
Add the area of the rectangle and two squares:
20 in^2 + 8 in^2 = 28 in^2
Have a nice day
Hope this helps!
To factor out the coefficient of a variable you divide it by the sum.
I know how to but i don't know how to reply with a picture
