\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨

Let's solve ~

Area of whole shape = Area of greater rectangle - area of smaller rectangle

Area of greater rectangle :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:11 * 10


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:110 \: \: ft {}^(2)

Area of smaller rectangle :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:7 * 8


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:56 \: \: ft {}^(2)

Area of composite figure :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:110 \: ft {}^(2) - 56 \: ft {}^(2)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:54 \: {ft}^(2)
