Answer:

Options (B) and (E)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of ΔABC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(14)(6)[/tex]

                        = 42 in²

Area of trapezoid ADEC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h[/tex]

[Here, [tex]b_1[/tex] and [tex]b_2[/tex] are the parallel sides and 'h' is the height of the isosceles trapezoid given]

= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(10+14)(8)[/tex]

= 96 in²

Area of the pentagon = Area of triangle ABC + Area of trapezoid ADEC

                                    = 42 + 96

                                    = 138 in²

Therefore, Options (B) and (E) are the correct options.
