Answer:
Explanation:
You're going to want to break up the shape into three parts, two triangles, and the rectangle.
Starting with the left-most triangle: A=(L*W)/2
The length is 4ft and the width is 3ft, multiply and divide by 2 to get: A=6 square feet.
Do the same with the second triangle on the bottom left (L=2ft, W=2ft) to get A=2 square feet.
Now the rectangle, A=L*W and total length is 10ft (8ft+2ft) and the width is 3ft. Multiply these values to get A=30 square feet.
Last step: add up all three areas for the total area of the entire shape, 6+2+30=38.
Area= 38 square feet.
