Answer:

Explanation:

The figure is divided into a rectangle and a right-triangle.

The area of the figure is the sum of the individual areas of the rectangle and triangle

Area of rectangle = Length x Width = 10 ft x 8 ft = 80 ft²

Area of triangle = 1/2 x Base X Height = 1/2 x 6 ft x 8 ft =24ft²

Hence, the area of the figure is:

80 ft²+ 24ft² = 104 ft²

Answer:

104 ft^2

Explanation:

The figure consist a rectangle and a triangle

to calculate triangle's area we multiply height and base then divide it by two

the height of the triangle is 8 ft (the given is a special right triangle)

8*6/2 = 24 ft^2

to calculate the area of the rectangle we multiply width and length

8*10 = 80 ft^2 the total area of the figure is :

24 + 80 = 104 ft^2
