The figure is a trapezoid, which can be split into a rectangle and a triangle.
The area of the rectangle = X * Y = 3 * 10 = 30 square inches.
The area of the triangle = 0.5 * (W + Z) * Y = 0.5 * (4 + 5) * 10 = 4.5 * 10 = 45 square inches.
Therefore, the total area of the object = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle = 30 + 45 = 75 square inches.
