Calculate them separately and add them together.
The formula for the area of a triangle is \(a= \frac{1}{2}b*h\)
\(\frac{1}{2} (6ft)*2ft=6ft^2\) is the area of the triangle.
The area of a rectangle is \(a=b*h\)
\(5ft*6ft=30ft^2\) is the area of the rectangle.
\(30ft^2+6ft^2=36ft^2\) is the total area.
