What is the area of the figure? The diagram is not drawn to scale.
The left side, which is slanted from the lower left up and to the right is labeled '3 inches.'
The upper horizontal side is labeled '29 inches.'
A vertical dashed line segment labeled '28 inches' extends from the upper left vertex to the horizontal lower base.
The angle at the intersection of the dashed line segment with the lower base is marked with a small square.

The area of the figure can be found by dividing it into two triangles.
The area of the left triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 28 * 3 = 42 square inches.
The area of the right triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 29 * 28 = 406 square inches.
Therefore, the total area of the figure is 42 + 406 = 448 square inches.
So, the correct answer is 448 in2.
