I need the steps on how to get the answer!!

Answer:
( 36 ) inches^2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of non-geometric shapes we have to divide it into different segment ( image attached below)
Step 1: Area A
= 5 x 2
= 10 inches ^2
Step 2: Area B
= 4 x 4
= 16 inches ^2
Step 3: Area C
= 5 x 2
= 10 inches ^2
Step 4: Total area ( add all)
= ( 10 + 16 + 10 ) inches ^2
= ( 36 ) inches ^ 2
