Answer 2

213 ft^2

Explanation:

In this problem, we can create a larger rectangle that engulfs this image with a few missing pieces on the corners. The area of that rectangle would be 18ft * 17 ft = 306 ft^2. The sum of the missing pieces is 2ft * 7ft + 5ft * 6 ft + 7ft * 7ft = (14 + 30 + 49)ft^2 = 93 ft^2. So, the area of this figure is 306 - 93 = 213 ft^2
