Answer:

C. 33 square feet.

Explanation:

to get the area of irregular polygon.

divide the area into two parts (see attached image)

total area = A1 + A2

where A = 1/2 base x height

total area = ( 1/2 * 6 * 8) + (1/2 * 6 * 3)

total area = 24 + 9

total area = 33 square feet.

therefore the answer is C. 33 square feet.

Area of triangle formula: A = bh/2

Bigger triangle:

A = 6*8/2

A = 48/2

A = 24

Smaller triangle:

A = 6*3/2

A = 18/2

A = 9

Add together.

24 + 9 = 33

So the correct answer is C.

Best of Luck!
