Answer: 72.5 feet squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle-Area Formula: a = lw
6 feet + 5 feet = 11 feet (length)
5 feet (width)
a = 11 * 5
a = 55 feet squared (rectangle)
Triangle-Area Formula: a = 1/2bh
2 feet (base)
5 feet (heighth)
a = 1/2 (2 * 5)
a = 5 feet squared (top triangle)
Triangle-Area Formula: a = 1/2bh
5 feet (base)
5 feet (heighth)
a = 1/2 (5 * 5)
a = 12.5 feet squared (bottom triangle)
Total Area:
Rectangle-Area + Top Triangle-Area + Bottom Triangle-Area = Total-Area
55 + 5 + 12.5 = 72.5 feet squared (total-area)
