Answer:
[tex]34\ ft^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the figure is equal to the area of the larger square plus the area of the smaller square
Find the area of the larger square
[tex]A1=5^{2} =25\ ft^{2}[/tex]
Find the area of the smaller square
[tex]A2=3^{2} =9\ ft^{2}[/tex]
The total area
[tex]A1+A2=25+9=34\ ft^{2}[/tex]
