answer is C. 252 ft^2

split the figure into two pieces and first figure out the rectangle (shown in turquoise).

If you multiply the width and length (18*6) you should get 108.

Then figure out the trapezoid (in magenta). the formula is (a+b)/2*h where a and b are the bases and h is the height. the bases are given, 6 and 18. to find the height, subtract the entire figure's height by 6, which is 18-6 and gives us 12. so the formula converted to this problem is (6+18)/2*12. simplify parenthesis and get 24/2*12. 24/2=12, so multiply 12*12. The area of the trapezoid is 144. Add the areas of both figures together and get 252.
