Answer:

Total area = 28 ft²

Explanation:

The shape is composed of 2 rectangles and 1 triangle.

✔️Area of rectangle 1 (the larger rectangle):

Length = 5 ft

Width = 4 ft

Area of rectangle 1 = L * W = 5*4 = 20 ft²

✔️Area of rectangle 2 (the smaller rectangle):

Length = 10 ft - 5 ft = 5 ft

Width = 1 ft

Area of rectangle 2 = L * W = 5*1 = 5 ft²

✔️Area of triangle:

Base = 2 ft

Height = 3 ft

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

Area of triangle = ½*2*3 = 3 ft²

✅Total area of the shape = 20 + 5 + 3 = 28 ft²
