What is the Area of a Composite Shape?

Area of a composite shape = sum of all shapes that makes up the composite shape.

Thus:

The area of the building wall that would be covered = area of square + area of rectangle + area of triangle

= s² + length ×  width + 1/2(b × h)

= 8² + 7 ×  4 + 1/2(6 × 7) = 113

The area of the building wall that would be covered = 113 ft²
