I just can't figure this out. or I am having a blond moment

sorry, no diagrams here. 'Splain, please

To find the total area of the figure formed from rectangles, you need to calculate the area of each rectangle and then sum them up.

Let's start by identifying the rectangles in the figure:

Rectangle 1:
Length = 8 ft
Width = 5 ft

Rectangle 2:
Length = 3 ft
Width = 3 ft

Now, we can calculate the area of each rectangle using the formula:

Area = Length x Width

Area of Rectangle 1 = 8 ft x 5 ft = 40 square feet
Area of Rectangle 2 = 3 ft x 3 ft = 9 square feet

Finally, to get the total area of the figure, you add up the areas of both rectangles:

Total Area = Area of Rectangle 1 + Area of Rectangle 2
Total Area = 40 square feet + 9 square feet
Total Area = 49 square feet

So, the total area of the figure formed from rectangles is 49 square feet.
