In general the area of a rectangle is given by:

$A=a\cdot b$

Where a and b are the length of the sides.

From the picture of above we see that the figure can be divided in two rectanbles, 1 and 2.

1) The area of the first rectangle is:

$A_1=5ft\cdot3ft=15ft^2$

2) The area of the second rectangle is:

$A_2=5ft\cdot6ft=30ft^2_{}$

The total area of the figure is just the sum of the areas of the rectangles which form it:

$A=A_1+A_2=15ft^2_{}+30ft^2=45ft^2$

Answer

The area of the figure is 45 ft²
