To find the area of the triangle, we use the formula: 1/2 * base * height.
For the triangle:
Area = 1/2 * 5 * 18 = 45 square inches
For the rectangle:
Area = length * width = 10 * 5 = 50 square inches
Total area = 45 + 50 = 95 square inches
So, the area of the window hanging is 95 in.².
Answer: 95 in.2
