Answer 2

The answer is 44 ft^2

Explanation:

You would first make the shape into two rectangles and solve for two different areas.

I started with the one on the bottom. That would be Length= 12 feet * Width= 2 feet= 24 feet

Then, solve for the second rectangle. You know that the far left side is 12 feet because the bottom base is 12 feet and this was once a square, meaning all sides were equal. Knowing this and that you already solved for the bottom rectangle you'd subtract 2 from 12 to give you a new side total of 10 feet. Then you'd solve for the area of the top rectangle.

That would be Length= 2 feet * Width= 10 feet= 20 feet

Finally, you'd add both totals together. 20+24= 44 ft^2
