Answer:

D: 61ft sq

Explanation:

The rectangle is 4ft by 10ft so you multiply 4 x 10=40ft.

S0 the rectangle equals 40 ft squared.

Next you find the area of the triangle, so yu do 7x6=42 42/2=21ft.

The area of the triangle is 21ft squared.

Now you add the two areas together, 40+21=61ft.

So your answer is 61ft squared.
