SOLUTION: You can divide the rectangle and find the area of two rectangles then find the area of each rectangle and add to the total. Area = (8 foot)(20 feet) + Area (8 feet)(3 feet)

Rectangle A has rectangle B and C inside of it.
so area of A=area of B+area of C
B=8*20=
C=8*3=
A=160+24=184

Area of A is harder because you need to find areas of B and C before you can get area of A
