Answer: 80 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

For the square, the formula is base times height which, in this case, are both 8. 8 x 8 = 64. Next, the triangle below is (8 x 4)/2 because the formula for a triangle is base x height divided by 2. 8 x 4 = 32 divided by 2 is 16.

64 + 16 = 80

So, your answer will be 80ft squared

Hope this helped!
