What is this area? marking brainliest

57in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the shape into 2 recatngles.

Imagine a line cuts away a rectangle of length 12in by width 4in. from a square  of length (12-9)in. and width (7-4)in

This gives you 2 different shapes

Find their area

Rectangle one has an area of = 12in x 4in = 48in^2

Square has an area of = (12-9) in x (7-4) in = 3x 3 inch = 9in.^2

Find their sum to find the area of the whole compound shape:

48+9 = 57in^2

Hope this helps

glide reflection.

its mainly because the pattern will be infinite and will never end. it will look like a gilder or like a filpbook when set to motion.
