Explanation:

Answer 2

we can do several rectangles and 2 triangles
the easiest way is to find the area of the big rectangle minus the cut off pices


a. 1 big rectangle-2 corner triangles
b. area rectangle=lenght times height=24 times 11=264 square feet
the triangles
bottom left one is height 11-7=4 and base 24-14=10
bottom left=1/2 times 4 times 10=20
top right is 24-20 by 11-6 or 4 by 5, area=1/2 times 4 times 5=10

so
rectangle-triangles=264-(20+10)=264-30=234 square feet
