Answer:

Given a figure that is broken into a rectangle and triangle.

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

Base : 5 ft

Height : 1/3 ft

The dimensions of the triangle are :

Base : 3 upon 2/3 ft

Height : 2 ft

The area of the figure calculated below :-

Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

Area of rectangle + Area of triangleLB + 1/2BH

(5×1/3) + (1/3+3upon2/3×2)

The result is simplified below :-

5/3+11/3

5+11/3

16/3 ft

51/3 ft square.

The area of the figure is 5 and one third square feet.
