To find the area of the shape, we need to find the area of each individual polygon in the net and then add them up.
1. The rectangle in the center has dimensions 6x3, so the area is 6 * 3 = 18 square inches.
2. The two squares have sides of length 3, so the area of each square is 3 * 3 = 9 square inches. Since there are two squares, the total area for both squares is 2 * 9 = 18 square inches.
3. The trapezoid on the left has a base of 3, a top side of 1.2, and a height of 1. The area of a trapezoid is calculated by the formula: 1/2 * (base1 + base2) * height. Using this formula, the area of the trapezoid is 1/2 * (3 + 1.2) * 1 = 2.1 square inches.
Adding up the areas of all the polygons: 18 + 18 + 2.1 = 38.1 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the shape in square inches is 38.1 square inches.
