Answer:

Area = 100 ft^2

Explanation:

To calculate the area of this composite shape, you need to find the area of all shapes and add them together.

1. Break the composite shape into different shapes.

Shapes: one rectangle, one square, and one triangle.

2. Find the area of each of them.

Rectangle

L= 8ft

W= 10ft

A= L x W

A= 8ft x 10ft

A= 80ft^2

Square

L= 4ft

W=10ft - 6ft = 4ft

A= L x W

A= 4ft x 4ft

A= 16ft^2

Triangle

A= 1/2 x base x height

b= 14ft -8ft-4ft = 2ft

h= 10ft - 6ft =4ft

A= 1/2 (2ft x 4ft)

A= 1/2 (8 ft^2)

A= 4ft^2

3. Add all the areas.

Area = Rectangle Area+ Square Area+ Triangle Area

A = 80ft^2 + 16ft^2 + 4ft^2

A= 100ft^2

Hope this helps!
