**Explain how you got it**

38 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the figure must be broken down into two shapes to solve for the area. The easiest way to do this is through a triangle and a rectangle.

This leaves a rectangle with a height of 8 in and a width of 4 in, as well as a triangle with a slant of 5 in, a base of 4 in, and height of 3 in.

Then, solve for the area of the two shapes.

Rectangle:

Area = L x W

4 x 8

= 32 inches squared.

Triangle:

Area = (1/2)(B x H)

(1/2)(4 x 3)

(1/2)(12)

= 6 inches squared.

Add these two values for a total area of 38 square inches.
