first you do 6 x 6 = 36 to get the area

then you divide 36 by 2 because the shape is a triangle (most of the time a triangle is half a square)

so the answer is: 18 square feet

Answer:

137 square feet

Explanation:

To find the area of this figure, you will need to combine the area of the triangle and the rectangle. The area formula of a triangle is A = 1/2lw (l = length, w = width). You just find the area the same way you would the rectangle and the divide it by 2. 6 times 3 is 18, and 18 divided by 2 is 9. The area of the triangle is 9 square feet. To find the area of the rectangle, multiply the length and the width (16 and 8). The product is 128. 128 + 9 = 137.
