Answer:

156 ft

Step-by-step explanation: (This does not seem to be in scale)

1. Split into one triangle and one square

2. Find triangle area

12 * 10 = 120 ft

3. Find square area

6 * 6 = 36 ft

4. Area = Atriangle + Asquare

120 + 36 = 156 ft

Area of triangle

a = 6 ft + 2 ft + 2ft = 10 ft

h = 12 ft

½ * 10 ft * 12 ft = 60 sq ft

Area of square :

a = 6 ft

6 ft * 6 ft = 36 sq ft

Area of this figure :

60 + 36 = 96 sq ft
