Answer:

39 square feet

Explanation:

The outdoor carpet consists of two rectangles.

The area of the rectangle is

$A=\text{Length}* \text{Width}$

1st rectangle:

Length = 11 ft

Width = 3 ft

Area
$=11\cdot 3=33 \ ft^2$

2nd rectangle:

Length = 3 ft

Width = 2 ft

Area
$=3\cdot 2=6 \ ft^2$

Total area:

$33+6=39\ ft^2$
