PLease help me I NEED HELP WITH THIS QUESTION IN THE PICTURE

The correct answer is option A: 88 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: The figure upon careful observation has been divided into three parts. One part is a rectangle with dimensions;

Length = 16

Width = 4

The area of the rectangle now becomes;

Area = L x W

Area = 16 x 4

Area = 64

Looking at the two triangles, we can see that they are identical. The dimensions given are;

Base = 8

Height = 3

(The height is derived by 7 inches - 4 inches)

Area of the triangle is now determined as follows;

Area = 1/2(b x h)

Area = 1/2(8 x 3)

Area = 1/2(24)

Area = 12.

Remember that we have two identical triangles, hence the area of both of them equals 12 x 2 and that equals 24

Therefore, the area of the entire figure is calculated as;

Area = 64 + 24

Area = 88 square inches
