Answer:

A. 12 square feet

Explanation:

So it's easier to find the area when you split the shape into 2 parts, and they already did that for you. So basically you find the area of both triangles and add them together. The formula for a triangle is base x height divided by 2. You don't have to do that because there are 2 triangles with the same base and height so you don't have to divide it by 2. 3 x 4 = 12, so A. 12 square feet is your answer.
