Answer:


96\text{ ft}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a composite figure. We are asked to find the area of the given figure.

The area of the composite figure would be area of rectangle (10 ft by 8 ft) plus area of triangle with base 4 ft and height 8 ft.


\text{The area of the composite figure}=\text{Area of rectangle}+\text{Area of triangle}


\text{The area of the composite figure}=10\text{ ft}* 8\text{ ft}+(1)/(2)(8\text{ ft}* 4\text{ ft})


\text{The area of the composite figure}=80\text{ ft}^2+4\text{ ft}* 4\text{ ft}


\text{The area of the composite figure}=80\text{ ft}^2+16\text{ ft}^2


\text{The area of the composite figure}=96\text{ ft}^2

Therefore, the area of the given composite figure is 96 square feet.
