5. find the total area of the figure below

Answer:
[tex]134 ft^2[/tex] the total area of the given figure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the bigger rectangle = 13 ft
Breadth of the bigger rectangle = x
Area of the bigger rectangle = A = 13 ft × x
Length of the smaller rectangle = 5ft
Breadth of the smaller rectangle = y = 6 ft
Area of the smaller rectangle = a = 5ft × 6ft
from the figure :
x + y = 14
x = 14ft - 6 ft = 8 ft
Total area of the figure = A + a
[tex]=13 ft\times 8 ft+5ft\times 6ft=134 ft^2[/tex]
[tex]134 ft^2[/tex] the total area of the given figure.
