Answer 1

A^figure = 13ft

Explanation:

A^figure = A^square + A^rectangle

A^figure = bh + bh

A^figure = 1 x 1 + 4 x 3

A^figure = 1 + 12

A^figure = 13ft

Answer 2

Split the shape into 2 figures.

I would split it so that there is a square and a larger rectangle.

Find the dimensions.

Square = 1 x 1

Rectangle= 4 x 3

Add the areas!
