Answer:
35ft squared
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets try solving the rectangular middle part
Width is 3 ft
Height is 5ft + 4ft = 9ft
3*9ft= 27ft. This is area of middle rectangular section
For the triangle, we subtract 3 from the rectangle from 11ft and divide by 2 because the two triangle on the edges are the same.
11-3=8
8/2=4
Triangle area formula = Base*Height / 2
4*4/2
16/2
4ft squared
and the other triangles area is also 4ft squared because they are congruent. So you add all the sections of the area up
27ft+4ft+4ft=35ft squared
35ft squared is the answer.
Hope this helps :)
