Answer:
1360 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
So to find area, you do bh
b is base
h is height
The base the of the rectangle going vertical in the plus sign is first.
The base is 20 and the height is 44
20 times 44 yields 880
then the two rectangles on either side of the bigger rectangle.
20 is the height, 12 is the base.
20 times 12 yields 240
there are two of those rectangles so
240 times 2 yields 480
480 plus 880 yields 1360
