Work Shown:


A1 = Area of rectangle = length*width = 7*4 = 28 square inches
A2 = Area of triangle on top = 0.5*base*height = 0.5*7*6 = 21 square inches
A3 = Area of triangle on right side = 0.5*base*height = 0.5*4*5 = 10 square inches


Total Area = A1 + A2 + A3
Total Area = 28 + 21 + 10
Total Area = 59 square inches
