Answer:

56ft

Explanation:

first you need to break the shape u so 1 rectangle and 2 triangles so first we need to find the area of the rectangle

Area of rectangle= w x h so 5* 8= 40

Area of triangle = .5 x b x h so 4 x 4 x .5 = 8 and since we have 2 double that and you get 16 so then you need to add it all up and u get the answer 56
