Answer:
\(34\ ft^{2}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the figure is equal to the area of the larger square plus the area of the smaller square
Find the area of the larger square
\(A1=5^{2} =25\ ft^{2}\)
Find the area of the smaller square
\(A2=3^{2} =9\ ft^{2}\)
The total area
\(A1+A2=25+9=34\ ft^{2}\)
