Answer:

69.5ft²

Explanation:

The shaded area is right triangles,

The formula for area of a right triangle is 1/2 x base x height

Triangle on right

Base: 7.6ft

Height: 10ft

Plug in: 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 7.6ft x 10ft = 38

Triangle on left

Base: 6.3ft

Height: 10ft

Plug in: 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 6.3ft x 10ft = 31.5

Add both for total shaded area: 31.5 + 38 = 69.5ft²
