Answer: 39.5 ft^2

Explanation:

1. Find the area of the rectangle using the formula length * width

  • 8 ft * 4 ft = 32 ft

2. Find the area of one of the triangles (the top one) using the formula 1/2(b*h)

  • 2 ft * 3 ft * 0.5 = 3 ft

3. Find the area of the other triangle (the bottom one) using the formula 1/2(b*h)

  • 3 ft * 3 ft * 0.5 = 4.5 ft

4. Add 'em all up to get the total area

  • 32 ft + 3 ft + 4.5 ft = 39.5 ft ^2
