Answer:

A. (2 × 6) + (3 × 8) + 6²

72 sq. inches.

B. 9 in. by 8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The white shape has dimensions of 2 in. by 6 in. and the green shape is a square.

So, the dimension of the green shape is 6 in. by 6 in.

Therefore, the length of the blue shape is (6 + 2) = 8 in.

Now, given that the area of the blue shape is 24 sq. in.

So, the width of the blue shape is [tex]\frac{24}{8} = 3[/tex] in.

Now, if we consider the total figure, then area of the entire figure = area of the  white shape + area of the green shape + area of the blue shape.

= (2 × 6) + (3 × 8) + 6² (Answer)

= 12 + 24 + 36  

= 72 sq, inches. (Answer)

Now, the length of the entire figure is (6 + 3) = 9 in. and width of the entire figure is (2 + 6) = 8 in.

Therefore, the dimensions of the entire figure will be 9 in. by 8 in. (Answer)
