Total area is 1680 sq. inches.
Area = width * height
I noticed that the figure can form 10 rectangles with a width of 14 inches and a height of 12 inches.
Area = 14 inches * 12 inches
Area = 168 sq. inches ** This in only the Area of 1 rectangle.
To get the total area of the figure. Multiply Area by the 10 rectangles that can be formed in the figure.
168 sq. inches * 10 = 1680 sq. inches.
