Answer: 42 inches squared
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total area you will find the area of the rectangle and then add that to the area of the triangle. (Remember a triangle is half of a rectangle!) First we will find the area of the rectangle...
4x8=32 inches squares
Now let’s find the area of the triangle, find the rectangle then divide it in half...
5x4=20 inches squared
20/2=10 inches squared
Now add 32 to 10 and you’ll have your answer!
32+10=42 inches squared
