What is the total area, in square inches, of the shaded sections of the trapezoid below?

Answer:
64.5 in²
Explanation:
[tex]\sf area \ of \ trapezoid = \dfrac{1}{2} * ( a + b) *h[/tex]
Solve for the entire trapezoid:
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{2} * ( 6.5 +(9.8+5.2+6.5) ) *8.6[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf 120.4 \ in^2[/tex]
Solve for the unshaded rectangle:
Area of the shaded region:
