Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1
Get the Area of the Rectangle.
Area of Rectangle = width x length
Width of the rectangle = 6ft
Length of the rectangle = 7ft
Area of rectangle = 7ft * 6ft = 42 ft^2
Step 2
Get the area of the triangle.
We know the triangle has a base of 2ft because the image shows the top length being 7ft and the bottom (where the triangle begins) is 5ft.
7ft - 5ft = 2ft
Similarly one side is 6ft and the other side where the triangle ends is 10ft. So the height of the triangle = 10ft - 6ft = 4ft
Area of a triangle is (1/2)*base*height
A = (2ft * 4ft)/ 2
The area of the triangle is A = 4 ft^2
The total area is = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle = 42 ft^2 + 4 ft^2 = 46 ft^2
