To calculate the area of the complex shape:

⇒ must separate the shape into simpler shape

  • 2 rectangles with a length 9ft and a width 6ft
  • 1 rectangle with a length of 9 ft and a width 3ft
  • 2 triangles with a base of 3 ft and a height 5.4ft

Let's calculate:

  • 2 rectangles with a length 9ft and a width 6ft


Area = 9*6+9*6=54+54=108

  • 1 rectangle with a length of 9 ft and a width 3ft


Area= 9*3=27

  • 2 triangles with a base of 3 ft and a height 5.4ft


Area = (1)/(2)* 3*5.4+(1)/(2)* 3*5.4=8.1+8.1=16.2

Total Area =
108+27+16.2= 151.2

Answer: 151.2 ft²

Hope that helps!
