Answer 2

Answer:

$198\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:        

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that the area of the room is equal to the area of a rectangle plus the area of a trapezoid

step 1

Find out the area of the rectangle

$A_1=(18)(9)=162\ ft^2$

step 2

Find out the area of the trapezoid

$A_2=\frac{1}{2} (9+3)(6)=36\ ft^2$

step 3

Sum the areas

$A=A_1+A_2$

substitute the values

$A=162++36=198\ ft^2$
