Answer:

6801.5 ft²

Explanation:

Draw a dashed line to extend the 48 ft side.

To the right of this dashed line you have a rectangle of 55.5 ft by 98 ft, whose area is (55.5 ft)(98 ft) = 5439 ft².

To the left of this dashed line you have a triangle.

Its base length is (98 ft - 48 ft), or 50 ft.

Its height is (110 ft - 55.5 ft) = 54.5 ft.

Since the area of a triangle is given by A = (1/2)(base)(height), the area of this particular triangle is A = (1/2)(50 ft)(54.5 ft) = 2725/2 = 1362.5 ft².

The total area of this figure is then (1362.5 ft² + 5439 ft²), or 6801.5 ft².
