Answer:

88

Explanation:

We can divide this into 3 shapes, a square, rectangle, and triangle.

Let's solve the area of each of these shapes and add them all up.

First, let's solve the square.

We know that one side is 4 ft so that means that the other side is also 4ft.

4*4=16

Our area of the square is 16ft^2

Let's solve the rectangle next,

Its length is 12ft and its width is 4ft.

12*4=48

So the rectangle area is 48ft^2

Now for the triangle

Remember that area of a triangle is a=hb/2

Our height is 12 ft and our base is 4ft

12*4=48

48/2=24

Triangle is 24ft^2

That means that we can add them all up

24+48+16=88

88ft^2 or 88
