We have two combined shape, this are;

Rectangle and triangle

We have to find the area of the two shapes and then add them together

From the diagram;

Length (l) of the rectangle = 12.16 ft

Breadth (b) of the rectangle = 6ft

Area of a rectangle = l x b

= 12.16 x 6

=72.96 ft²

Then let's move on to find the area of the triangle

From the diagram

height(h) of the triangle = 9.16 ft

Base(b) of the triangle = 12ft - 6ft = 6ft

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x b x h

= 1/2 x 6 x 9.16

= 3 x 9.16

=27.48 ft²

Area = area of rectangle + area of triangle

= 72.96 ft² + 27.48 ft²

=100.44 ft²

≈ 100.4 ft²

Hence the area of the shape given is 100.4 ft² to the nearest tenth
