Answer:

A. 69 square feet

Explanation:

add the area of the triangle on top to the

area of the rectangle below

y - w is the base of the triangle

12 - 6 = 6 is the base of the triangle

z - x = height of the triangle

8 - 5 = 3 = height of the triangle

6 times 3 divided by 2 = area of the triangle =

9

y times x is the area of the rectangle below

12 times 5 =

60 is the area of the rectangle below

add up both areas which =

69
