Answer:
The figure broken into a rectangle and a triangle has the following dimensions: the triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 6 inches, while the rectangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 4 inches. The area of the triangle is 24 square inches (calculated by multiplying the base by the height and dividing by 2), while the area of the rectangle is 32 square inches (calculated by multiplying the base by the height). The total area of the irregular figure is 56 square inches (24 + 32).
