PLEASE HELP! GIVING POINTS :)!

56 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the problem and divide into two rectangles by drawing the line up from the bottom 4.

You end up with one rectangle that is

8x4

and a second thats

4x6.

The area is then calculated by taking the length and multiplying by the width of the first (8 x 4) and adding to the same process of the second (4x6)

Thus

32 + 24 = 56 square feet

32 + 24 = 56 square feet

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
