Answer:
1824 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
This figure consists of a triangle and a rectangle.
To find the area of the entire figure , we have to find the area of the triangle and the rectangle separately and add them.
Let us solve now.
Area of the triangle
Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base × height
Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 48 × 12
Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 576
Area = 288 in²
Area of the rectangle
Area = length × width
Area = 48 × 32
Area = 1536 in²
Area of the entire figure
Total area = Area of the triangle + Area of the rectangle
Total area = 288 in² + 1536 in²
Total area = 1824 in²
