Please help so confused

Answer 1

Break it into squared and rectangles and find the area of those first then add it all together

For your square you would get 16 ft squared

For your rectangle you would get 32 ft squared

For your other rectangle you would get 32 ft squared as well

Then add those all together to get the full answer

80 ft squared

Hope this helps :)
