Answer:

60 ft²

Explanation:

You can divide the figure into 2 parts.

First, solve for the rectangle: Area of a rectangle = b*h = 4ft x 10ft = 40ft²

Then, solve for the triangle:

Height = 10ft - 5ft = 5ft

Base = 12ft - 4ft = 8ft

Area of a triangle = (b*h)/2 = (5ft x 8ft)/2 = 20ft²

Just add them together: 20ft² + 40ft² = 60ft²

:)
