Solution

- The total area is the addition of the area of the 5ft by 8ft wall and the areas of the two walls of 4ft by 8ft.

- The area of a rectangular wall is

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=l\times w \\ where, \\ l=length\text{ of the wall} \\ w=width\text{ of the wall} \end{gathered}[/tex]

- Thus, the total area is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=(5\times8)+2(4\times8) \\ A=40+64 \\ A=106ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final Answer

The answer is OPTION A
