Answer:36

Step-by-step explanation:cause i did the test and got it right.

hope this helps.

Answer 2

36 square feet

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the missing sides.

1) We calculate the missing sides by subtracting one of the similar sides with the longest one possible. In this case, 6 - 2 = 4 and 8 - 3 = 5.

2) Strikethrough the compound shape, creating two shapes; then, label them. Check the diagram attached.

3) Now, let's find the area of each of the squares; and then, add them.

Shape A:

= 4 × 5

= 20

Shape B:

= 2 × 8

= 16

Total:

= 20 + 16

= 36 feet²
