For this you would want to break this fgure up with familar shapes. You can do two triangles and one big rectangle.

First triangle:

(3)(2)(1/2)= 3 feet squared

Second Triangle:

(3)(4)(1/2)= 6 feet squared

Rectangle:

(11)(3)= 33 feet squared

Now you add:

33+3+6= 42 feet squared

So, for this hole you will need 42 feet squared of outdoor carpet
