To find the area of a rectangle, what you must do is multiply its sides


\text{Area}=\text{Side}_1* Side_2

To find the area we divide the room into 2 rectangles and then add them

We calculate the area of rectangle A and add it with the area of rectangle B


\begin{gathered} A_A=(12*6) \\ A_B=(8*2) \end{gathered}

So John's sandbox area is letter D


(12*6)+(8*2)
