The figure above can be seperated into 2 rectangular figure. We will find the area of the figure by solving the individual area of the rectangles.
Therefore,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{area}1=lw \\ \text{area}1=8\times4=32inches^2 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]area2=6\times2=12inches^2[/tex]Area of the figure=
