Answer:
the answer is B. 145 sq. ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
find the area of the first 2 triangles
A = 1/2 bh
A = 1/2 ba
a = 1/2 (11 ft.) (5 ft)
a = 27.5 sq ft.
A = 1/2 cb
a = 1/2 (5 ft) (7 ft)
a = 17.5 sq. ft
find the area of the rectangle
A = lw
a = (11 ft.)(5 ft.)
a = 55 sq. ft
Then add all together
2(27.5 sq.ft) + 2(17.5 sq. ft) + 55 sq.ft. = 145 sq. ft.
