For a, it is made up of 4 triangles, or 2 parallelograms. To find the area, you would have to find the area of the whole outer rectangle which is 264 ft. Then you would find the area of the other 2 triangles, and subtract that from the whole area. I don't have time to do that now, but I hope this helps. I can do it in about an hour if you need help.

A.) Here, Hexagon is represented by cutting two triangles from the rectangle, which makes 6 sides that what we know as a "Hexagon"

Dimensions: 7 ft, 20 ft, 6.40 ft, 6 ft, 14 ft, 10.77 ft

B.) Area = Area of rectangle - (Area of Triangles)

A = 24*11 - (1/2*4*10 + 1/2*4*5)

A = 264 - (20 + 10)

A = 234 Ft² [ Final Answer ]

Hope this helps!
