Answer: 104 ft²

Explanation:

To find the area of the figure, we can find the area of the rectangle and the triangle. After that, we add the two areas together.

Rectangle

A=bh

A=10×8 [multiply]

A=80

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Triangle

A=bh/2

A=6×8/2 [multiply]

A=48/2 [divide]

A=24

Now that we have the areas, we can add them together.

A=80+24 [add]

A=104 ft²

Now, we know that the area is 104 ft².
