PLS HELP !!! I just dont understand im not smart-

Let's first find the area of the rectangle/rectangle,

we can do this by combining their lengths as a whole

or

we can individually find their area.

Let's find the area of the individual shapes, upper rectangle;

(using the formula)

A = l x w

Where 'l' represents the length and 'w' stands for the width.

Plug in what you know:-

A = 27(24)

A = 648 square feet is the area of the upper rectangle.

Now, the lower rectangle:

A = l x w

Plug in what you know:-

A = 27(32)

A = 864 square feet is the area of the lower rectangle.

Now we find the area of the triangle beside;

(using the formula)

A = BH x 1/2

Where 'B' represents the base, 'H' the height, and 1/2 means to simply divide the product of those two lengths(base x height) by 2.

Plug in what you know:

A = BH x 1/2

A = 18(32) x 1/2

A = 576 x 1/2

A = 576/2

A = 288 square feet is the area of the triangle beside.

Add up all the areas we've gathered so far:

648 + 864 + 288

= 1,800 square feet is the area of the patio
