You can put this solution on YOUR website!
here you can divide given shape into two rectangles: one will have the length \"L1=5ft\" and the width \"W1=8ft\", and other on that has \"L2=5ft\" and the width \"W2=4ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, we will find their areas and just add them:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A1=L1%2AW1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A1=5ft%2A8ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A1=40ft%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A2=L2%2AW2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A2=5ft%2A4ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A2=20ft%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=A1%2BA2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=40ft%5E2%2B20ft%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=60ft%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
