Solution.
From the figure given we will have to find the
(Area of A) + (The Area of B)
STEP 1 :
For figure B
b = 3
h = 6
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area of A = }\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h \\ \text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times3\times6 \\ \text{ = }\frac{18}{2}\text{ = 9} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2:
For Figure A
L = 16
b = 8ft
Area of B = L x B
= 16 x 8
= 128
STEP 3
Area of A + Area of B
128 + 9 = 137 square feet
