I need help good explanation and answer for more points

Let's start with sectioning off the little squares on the left that are jutting out of the top and bottom. Both of the squares are C*E, so multiply C*E twice to get the area of those little squares. That comes out to 12 feet.

Next is the main quadrilateral, the big one. You have to cut it off at the point the triangle starts to slope, so the end fo B.

But you also have to get the left part, so you have to add the length of C to the length of B to get the length of the quadrilateral. A encompasses the entire height, but not the part we want, because we already isolated those little squares. To get the height, just subtract the two E parts. The height is 6. The length is 8 feet. Multiply and get 48.

Add that to the previous 12 feet calculated to get 60.

Next, the triangle. The height is A, but only with one E. So subract the other E to get a height of 9. The length is D, but you have to subract B because that is part of the earlier quadrilateral. That makes it 9.

The formula for a triangle is height * length / 2. So, plug in the numbers-- 9 * 9 / 2

81/2

40.5.

Add to the previous 60 we got and that makes 100.5 square feet.

Hope this helped!
