Answer:
48in²
Explanations:
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
The complete figure is rectangular in shape with:
length = 11 in
Width = 5 in
Area = 11 x 5
Total Area = 55 in²
The orange portion is triangular in shape with:
height = 4 in
Base = 3.5 in
Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x height
Area of the orange portion = 0.5 x 3.5 x 4
Area of the orange portion = 7 in²
Area of the blue portion = (Total Area) - (Area of the orange portion)
Area of the blue portion = 55in² - 7in²
Area of the blue portion = 48in²
