Continue drawing the line with 6 in, you will notice it cuts the side of 16 in into 2 parts , the largest is 10 in & the smallest is 6 in, In short it cuts the figure into a rectangle & a right triangle:

area of right triangle = 6x (10-6) = 6 x 4 = 40 in²

area of rectangle (in fact it's a square) = 10 x 10 = 100 in²
