Answer:
104 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we start, one thing to notice is the 90 degrees symbol at the corners. This lets you know a rectangle has four 90 degrees angle, which will help in the next step.
First, separate the shape to become three rectangles.
After you've done that, start with the first recantgle on the left.
The edges are 8 and 5. To find the area, you must multiple 8 by 5.
8 * 5 =40
The area is 40 for the first rectangle.
Next, we do the second rectangle to the right of the first one.
oThe edges are 6 and 4. We know it is four because the full length on the rectangle on the left is 8 and below the 6 ft is the place that says 4 ft. The 6ft line cuts to rectangle in half so the other edge will be 4 ft. (Hope that made sense )
Now we find the area of the second rectangle by multiplying 6 and 4
6 *4 = 24
Now we conclude with the third rectangle. We know one edge which is 5 and the other edge will be 8 because, at the opposite end, it tells us the length is 8.
Now we multiply 8 and 5.
8 * 5 = 40.
Now, the three numbers we have found are 40, 24, and 40. Our final step is to add up these three numbers from the rectangles we made to find the area.
40 + 24 + 40 = 104
The area will be 104 ft^2
I hope this explanation helped and have a good day!
