This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).
Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.
The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.

<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
The equation shown in the graph represents a piecewise function. Hence:
From the line through the point (-8, 4) and (-2, 2), the equation is f(x) = -(1/3)x + 4/3
From the curve through the point (-2, 2) and (0, 6), the equation is f(x) = -x² + 6
From the line through the point (0, 6) and (4, 6), the equation is f(x) = -6
From the line through the point (4, 6) and (7, 9), the equation is f(x) = x + 2
