Answer 1

we separate the figure

find the area of each shape

$\begin{gathered} A=w\times l \\ A=2\times5 \\ A=10 \end{gathered}$

First area is 10 square ft

$\begin{gathered} A=w\times h \\ A=6\times2 \\ A=12 \end{gathered}$

second are is 12 square ft

Add areas to find total area

$10+12=22$

total area of the desk is 22square ft

$22ft^2$
