As you see in the picture there’s a rectangle that when rearranged there could be 2 triangles used out of the shaded one and lighter one. To find the area of a triangle it’s basexheight divided by 2 so... 2x12=24 divides by 2 is 12 square ft per triangle. Since you have 2 triangles, the shaded and lighter one when rearranged . You can basically multiply the answer by 2 again to get 24 square feet for the whole object so the answer is C

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf Option \ C}

Explanation:

Area of Triangle =
\sf (1)/(2) (Base)(Height)

Where Base = 12 ft, Height = 2 ft

Area of Triangle =
\sf (1)/(2) (12)(2)

Area of Triangle = 12 ft²

Remember that, Area of Triangle is always half of the Area of Rectangle.

So, Since the Area of Rectangle is 24 ft², the Area of Triangle is 12 ft² (It's Half)

Hope this helped!
