Answer:
D) 304 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant area formulas are ...
A = 1/2bh . . . . area of a triangle with base b and height h
A = s^2 . . . . . . area of a square with side s
__
The figure consists of four identical triangles with base 8 and height 15. The area of each one is ...
A = (1/2)(8)(15) = 60
The square has side length 8, so its area is ...
A = 8^2 = 64
The total area of the figure is ...
4(60) +64 = 304 . . . . square inches
