We have to calculate the square feet of brick needed to lay the patio in the figure.

We then have to calculate the surface of the patio.

We can divide this figure into known figures and we can calculate its area as the sum of the areas of its parts:

We then can calculate the area as:


\begin{gathered} A=5*8+20*30 \\ A=40+600 \\ A=640\text{ }ft^2 \end{gathered}

Answer: 640 ft² are required.
