Then find the are of the triangle

A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 (6) * 8 = 24

Add the areas together

There are two shapes a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of a rectangle = Length x width = 10 x 8 = 80 square ft.

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24 square ft.

Total area = rectangle + triangle = 80 + 24 = 104 square ft.

Answer 104 square ft.
