D)	144 in2
                                             
                                          
                                          
                                        
											 
											Answer: C) 78 in2
Step-by-step explanation:
The polygon is divided into two trapezoids with equal measurements.
Area of a trapezoid:
1
2
(b1 + b2)h
Since the area of the hexagon equals the area of two trapezoids with equal measurements, do not multiply by 1/2.
(b1 + b2)h
(10 + 16)3
26(3)
78 in2
