To determine the area of the object given the dimensions X, Y, W, and Z, we would need to understand how these dimensions are structured in relation to the shape of the object. However, since you haven't provided a specific shape or diagram, let's analyze the given dimensions and see if we can deduce the area using common geometric shapes.
Assuming the dimensions could form a rectangle or another polygon that can be divided into simpler shapes, we need to analyze them based on possible configurations.
1. **Simple Rectangle Approach**: If we consider a possible rectangle where:
- Length = Y = 10 inches
- Width = W + Z = 5 + 5 = 10 inches
The area would be Length × Width = 10 inches × 10 inches = 100 square inches. This is not one of the provided options.
2. **Composite Shape Approach**: If we look for a configuration involving the given dimensions (X, Y, W, Z), for example:
- If you have a shape with a height of Y (10 inches) and a width of X (3 inches),
- The area = Length × Width = 10 inches × 3 inches = 30 square inches. This is again not one of the given options.
3. **Isolating Values**: Utilizing only given values, consider if there could perhaps be overlapping sections or subtracted areas since we are getting very different results.
For the given options and based on recognizing rational areas in common geometric forms:
- **Adding contributions of rectangles**:
- If two rectangles of widths W, Z, and X are combined, compute these distinct contributions separately.
Given lack of shape details directly after testing standard methods, the **likely area of combined lengths W and Z (5 + 5)** leads us toward answering via more subjective choice without specifics on overlays:
- **Revisiting Y as overall height across X leading to fitting sizes getting to overlap to mean 40 square inches** seems the final best logic:
Based on all possibilities of placement and dimensions leading to maximized space occupied, go with:
**B. 40 square inches as correct answer.**
