PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS

A kitchen counter will be designed according to the measurements of the diagram in the image. What is the area of the surface of the counter in square feet?
A. 27 ft²
B. 31.5 ft²
C. 36 ft²
D. 40 ft²

Answer 1

3 x 5 = 15ft
3 x 4 = 12ft
3 x 3 = 9 divided by 2 = 4.5
15 + 12 + 4.5 = 31.5 ft

Answer 2

B. 31.5 ft^2 because you find the area of each rectangle and add them and then find the area of the triangle and add it in to get 31.5 ft^2
