Answer:

39 sqare feet

Explanation:

Break the shape into two rectangles and find the area for each. First, find the area of the small rectangle jutting out from the bottom of the shape. Multiply the length (3) by the width (2) to get 6 square feet. Then, do the big rectangle following the same process to get 33 square feet. Adding these values together gives you the total area, which is 39 square feet.
