Answer:

36
{ft}^(2)

Option C is the correct option.

Explanation:

Solution,

Height = 2 ft

Base = 8 - 4 = 4 ft

Finding the area of ABC :


(1)/(2) * b * h


= (1)/(2) * 4 * 2


= 4 \: {ft}^(2)

Finding the area of rectangle BDEF:


length \: * breadth


= 8 * 4


= 32 \: {ft}^(2)

Total area :

Area of triangle ABC + Area of rectangle BDEF


= 4 \: {ft}^(2) + 32 { \: ft}^(2)


= 36 \: {ft}^(2)

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Answer:

36 ft²

Explanation:

Split the figure into two shapes.

Area of figure = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

Area of rectangle:


length * width


length=8\\width=4


8 * 4 = 32

Area of triangle:


(base * height)/(2)


base=8-4=4\\height=2


(4 * 2)/(2)


(8)/(2) =4

Area of figure =
32 + 4 = 36
