Answer:
104
Step-by-step explanation:
You can think if the shape as a rectangle plus a triangle.
The rectangle has length 10 ft and width 8 ft.
The triangle has base 6 ft and height 8 ft.
A = LW + ½bh
A = 10 ft × 8 ft + ½(6 ft × 8 ft)
A = 80 ft² + 24 ft²
A = 104 ft²
You can also think of the entire shape as a trapezoid.
The bases measure 16 ft and 10 ft.
The height measures 8 ft.
A = ½(b1 + b2)h
A = ½(16 ft + 10 ft) × 8 ft
A = ½(26 ft)(8 ft)
A = 104 ft²
Answer: 104 ft²
