Answer:
C. 108.5 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle: length x width
Area of a triangle: (base x height)/2
First find the rectangle's area:
10ft x 7 ft
70ft^2
Find the right side triangle's area:
(7ft x 5ft)/2
35ft^2/2
17.5ft^2
Now find the left side triangle's area:
There is no base number included, but the other triangle has a base of 7ft. Considering the triangle is attached to a rectangle's side, we can conclude this triangle will have the same base because a rectangle's parallel side will always equal each other
(7ft x 6ft)/2
42ft^2/2
21ft^2
Finally, add all of these areas together
70ft^2 + 17.5ft^2 + 21ft^2
87.5ft^2 + 21ft^2
108.5ft^2
