Answer:
28.5 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
shaded area = area of triangle minus area of rectangle
shaded area = (1/2)bh - LW
base of triangle = 5 ft + 4 ft = 9 ft
height of triangle = 3 ft + 6 ft = 9 ft
shaded area = (1/2)(9 ft)(9 ft) - (4 ft)(3 ft)
shaded area = 40.5 ft² - 12 ft²
shaded area = 28.5 ft²
