Hello !

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Option\ C \to A=155ft}$

Explanation:

To calculate the area of this figure, we will divide it into three smaller figures as shown in the attached file.

Now that we have three rectangles A, B, and C.

The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is:

$\sf A_(rec) = Length* Width$

Let's calculate the area of the 3 rectangles using the previous formula :

$\sf A_A=12* 5=60ft$

$\sf A_B = 7*5=35ft$

$\sf A_C=12* 5 =60ft$

Now we can calculate the total area of the figure.

$\sf A=A_A+A_B+A_C\\A=60+35+60\\\boxed{\sf A=155ft}$

Have a nice day ;)
