Answer:
369.5 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the figure into 2 rectangles and 2 triangles.
(see attached image)
Area 1
Area of a rectangle = width × length
= 4 × 5
= 20 ft²
Area 2
Area of a rectangle = width × length
= 8 × (4 + 4 + 5)
= 8 × 13
= 104 ft²
Area 3
Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × (6 + 4 + 5 + 4 - 6) × 23
= 1/2 × 13 × 23
= 149.5 ft²
Area 4
Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × 8 × (21 + 8 - 5)
= 1/2 × 8 × 24
= 96 ft²
Total Area
Area 1 + Area 2 + Area 3 + Area 2 = 20 + 104 + 149.5 + 96
= 369.5 ft²
