<h2><u>106 square inches</u> is the correct answer!</h2><h3></h3><h3>1. Divide the shape into three sections (Two rectangles and one triangle)</h3><h3></h3><h3>2. Calculate the area of the triangle:</h3><h3>One side is 4 inches and the other side is 5 + 3 + (7 - 4) = 11 inches.</h3><h3>4 x 11 = 44</h3><h3>44 ÷ 2 = <u>22</u></h3><h3></h3><h3>3. Calculate the area of the top rectangle:</h3><h3>One side is 8 inches and the other side is 3 inches.</h3><h3>8 x 3 = <u>24</u></h3><h3></h3><h3>4. Calculate the area of the lower rectangle:</h3><h3>One side is 6 inches and the other side is 7 + 3 = 10 inches.</h3><h3>6 x 10 = <u>60</u></h3><h3></h3><h3>5. Add all of them together</h3><h3>22 + 24 + 60 = <u>106</u></h3><h3></h3><h3><em>Please let me know if I am wrong.</em></h3>
