Answer:

37 ft²

Explanation:

The figure is composed of a triangle and a square

Therefore, area of the figure = area of the triangle + area of the square

= ½bh + s²

Where,

b = 1.5 + 4 + 1.5 = 7 ft

h = 6 ft

s = 4 ft

Plug in the values into the equation

Area of the figure = ½*7*6 + 4²

= 21 + 16

= 37 ft²
