Question 466821
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}}}

so, we will find their areas and just add them:

{{{A1=L1*W1}}}

{{{A1=5ft*8ft}}}

{{{A1=40ft^2}}}

{{{A2=L2*W2}}}

{{{A2=5ft*4ft}}}

{{{A2=20ft^2}}}

{{{A=A1+A2}}}

{{{A=40ft^2+20ft^2}}}

{{{A=60ft^2}}}
