It is a triangle with a dotted line going down the middle of it.
This line has 6 ft. beside of it.
The top left of the triangle has 8 ft. on it. The bottom of the triangle has 11 ft.
:
The area of a triangle is one-half the base times the height:
A = b*h
By your desription:
b = 11
h = 6
:
A = *11*6
A = 33 sq ft
