Answer:
34.5 ft squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the figure into a triangle and two rectangles. The two vertical lines on the figure already do that. The triangle's area is 3*3/2 because 8 - 3 - 2 = 3 is the base and the height is 3. Use b * h/2. The area of the smaller rectangle is 2 *3. The area of the larger rectangle is 8 * 3. Add the areas up: 4.5 + 6 + 24 = 34.5.
