Answer:

Explanation:

The dotted line shows where you can find the area of two different shapes in order to find the total area. There is a rectangle and a triangle.

Rectangle:

A= lxw

l=6

w = 8

6*8=48

Triangle:

A= (lxw)/2

l=6

w= 6 (14-8=6; Subract the total length of the shape by the given length to find whats missing)

(6*6)/2=18

Add 48 and 18 to get the combined area of both shapes.

(48+18=66 sq ft)

Answer: 84 ft

Explanation:

First, split the shape into a rectangle and triangle

Then find the dimensions for the shape

Find the area for the rectangle and triangle

formula for the rectangle would be Length(8) multiplied by Width(6) L*W

The area of the rectangle would be 48

Then find the area of the triangle

Formula for triangle would be Length(6) [14-8 is how I got this number] then multiply that by width (6) finally divide you answer by 2 L*W/2, and your answer would be 36

To finally find your final answer add 36 and 48
