To find the total area of the four shapes, we need to calculate the area of each square and then add them all together.
Step 1: Calculate the area of the top two squares.
The image shows that the height of the top row is 4 inches. Since these are squares, their width is also 4 inches.
* Area of one top square = $4 \text{ inches} \times 4 \text{ inches} = 16 \text{ square inches}$.
* There are two squares in this row (A and C).
* Total area for the top row = $16 + 16 = 32 \text{ square inches}$.
Step 2: Calculate the area of the bottom two squares.
The image shows that the height and width of the bottom left square (7) are both 5 inches. Since they are aligned in a row, the bottom right square (&) is also a 5-inch square.
* Area of one bottom square = $5 \text{ inches} \times 5 \text{ inches} = 25 \text{ square inches}$.
* There are two squares in this row (7 and &).
* Total area for the bottom row = $25 + 25 = 50 \text{ square inches}$.
Step 3: Add the totals together.
* Total Area = (Area of top row) + (Area of bottom row)
* Total Area = $32 + 50$
* Total Area = $82$
Final Answer:
82 square inches
