Answer:
56 square feet
Explanation:
If you take the problem and divide into two rectangles by drawing the line up from the bottom 4.
You end up with one rectangle that is
8x4
and a second thats
4x6.
The area is then calculated by taking the length and multiplying by the width of the first (8 x 4) and adding to the same process of the second (4x6)
Thus
32 + 24 = 56 square feet
