We need to divide the figure into 4 parts as:
So, the area of part 1 can be calculated as:
Area 1 = 6 in * 3 in = 18
The area of part 2 is calculated as:
Area 2 = 15 in * 7 in = 105
The area of part 3 is calculated as:
Area 3 = 15 in * 3 in = 45
The area of part 4 is calculated as:
Area 4 = 6 in *3 in = 18
So, the total area is calculated as:
Total Area = Area 1 + Area 2 + Area 3 + Area 4
Total Area = 18 + 105 + 45 + 18
Total Area = 186
Answer: 186 in^2
