Answer 1

392 ft²

Explanation:

The composite figure can be divided into a rectangle, 2 triangles and a square

Area of rectangle = Length * width

Area of rectangle = 21 feets * 14 feets = 294 feet²

Area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height

Area of triangle = 0.5 * 7 * 7 = 24.5

AREA of square = a² = 7² = 49 feets²

Total area :

294 feets + (2 * 24.5) feets² + 49 feets²

294 + 49 + 49 = 392 ft²
