Answer:

D.  

1,068 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the figure into 2 shapes: triangle and rectangle

Area of rectangle = 36 x 25 = 900 ft^2

Area of triangle = 1/2 (39-25)(36-12) = 1/2 (14)(24) = 168 ft^2

Area of the figure PQRSTU = 900 + 168 = 1068 ft^2

Answer

1,068 square feet

Answer:

D. 1,068

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle PQRU = 25 x 36 = 900 sq-ft

Consider triangle RST,

Base of triangle = TR = 36 - 12 = 24 feet

Height if triangle = 39 - 25 = 14 feet

Hence area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 24 x 14 = 168 sq-ft

Total area = 900 + 168 = 1068 sq-ft
