Answer:
140 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the area of each shape (rectangle and triangle) and add them together.
1. To find the area of the rectangle multiply the width (16) by the length (8) to get 128 ft².
2. Then to find the area of the triangle you need to first find the missing sides of the triangle. To find the height subtract the 12ft by the 8ft to get a height of 4 ft. The find the length by subtracting the 16 ft by the 10 ft.
3. Now we multiply the height and and length then divide by 2 to get 24ft/2 which equals an area of 12ft².
4. Now that we have the areas of each shape, we add the areas together. 128 ft² + 12 ft² = 140 ft²
