BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST

 398 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you have correctly described the total area in terms of non-overlapping triangles and a rectangle, you can put the dimensions into the appropriate area formula and add up the pieces.

 Triangle area = 1/2·bh

 Rectangle area = bh

___

So, the first triangle has an area of ...

 1/2·(20 ft)(20 ft) = 200 ft²

The second triangle has an area of ...

 1/2·(6 ft)(6 ft) = 18 ft²

The rectangle has an area of ...

 (30 ft)(6 ft) = 180 ft²

And the area total is ...

 200 ft² +18 ft² +180 ft² = 398 ft²
