Answer:
Explanation:
extend the line on the 5ft side to create a triangle and a rectangle.
Area of a rectangle is l x b
10 x 4 = 40ft^2
Area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height
the height of the triangle will be 10 - 5 = 5ft
the base of the triangle will be 12 - 4 = 8
1/2 (8) x (5)
20ft^2
Total area = area of triangle + area of rectangle
Total area = 20ft^2 + 40ft^2
Total area = 60 ft^2
