Part 1: getting the area of the entrance
The entrance has a trapezoid shape.
Area of trapezoid can be calculated using the following rule:
Area of trapezoid = average base * height
The aveage base = (b1+b2)/2 = (8+16)/2 = 12 ft
height of trapezoid = 4 ft
Therefore:
area of entrance = 12*4 = 48 ft^2

Part 2: getting the area of the house:
area of house = area of back porch + area of side deck + area of play room + area of entrance
i- getting the area of the back porch:
The back porch is a square with side length = 6 ft
Therefore:
area of back porch = 6*6 = 36 ft^2
ii- getting the area of side deck:
The side deck is a rectangle whose length is 14 ft and width is 3 ft
Therefore:
area of side deck = 14*3 = 42 ft^2
iii- getting the area of play room:
The play room is a rectangle whose length is 14 ft and width is 16 ft
Therefore:
area of play room = 14*16 = 224 ft^2
iv- area of entrance is calculated in part 1 = 48 ft^2
Based on the above:
area of house = 36 + 42 + 224 + 48 = 350 ft^2

hope this helps :)
