Answer:

32.5 square feet.

Explanation:

The formula for a triangle is Base times height divided by 2. So, you must divided this shape into a square and a triangle. Now, we must find the base of the triangle, which is 3 and find the height of the triangle, which is 5. Multiply 5 by 3 to get 15. Divided by 2 by 15 to get 7.5. Then find the area of the square. Simply find the base of the square, which of 5 and find the height of square, which is also 5. Multiply 5 by 5 to get 25. Add, 25 to 7.5 to get 32.5.
