To find the area of each arrow, we need to calculate the product of the length and width of each arrow.

The first arrow has a length of 6 inches and a width of 10 inches. So the area of the first arrow is 6 inches * 10 inches = 60 square inches.

The second arrow has a length of 10 inches and a width of 8 inches. So the area of the second arrow is 10 inches * 8 inches = 80 square inches.

The third arrow has a length of 8 inches and a width of 4 inches. So the area of the third arrow is 8 inches * 4 inches = 32 square inches.

The fourth arrow has a length of 4 inches and a width of 10 inches. So the area of the fourth arrow is 4 inches * 10 inches = 40 square inches.

As we need to find the area for only one arrow, we can calculate the sum of the areas of all four arrows: 60 square inches + 80 square inches + 32 square inches + 40 square inches = 212 square inches.

Therefore, the answer is 212 square inches.
