Answer:
The total area of the figure is 52 in²
Explanation:
This figure requires you to find the area of the square and the triangle separately, and then subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the square.
Find the area of the square
l=8in
A=l²
A=8²
A=64 in²
The area of the square is 64 in²
Find the area of the triangle
b=8in
h=3in
A=(bh)/2
A=(8*3)/2
A=24/2
A=12 in²
The area of the triangle is 64 in²
Now we need to subtract the areas
64-12=52 in²
The total area of the figure is 52 in²
