- Rectangle 1: \(20 \, \text{ft} \times 5 \, \text{ft}\)
- Rectangle 2: \(30 \, \text{ft} \times 1.5 \, \text{ft}\)

Step 1: Calculate the area of Rectangle 1.
\[
\text{Area}_1 = 20 \, \text{ft} \times 5 \, \text{ft} = 100 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

Step 2: Calculate the area of Rectangle 2.
\[
\text{Area}_2 = 30 \, \text{ft} \times 1.5 \, \text{ft} = 45 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

Step 3: Sum the areas.

Problem 8:

The shape is a large rectangle with a smaller rectangle removed from it:
- Large Rectangle: \(28 \, \text{cm} \times 16 \, \text{cm}\)
- Small Rectangle: \(8 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm}\)

Step 1: Calculate the area of the large rectangle.
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{large}} = 28 \, \text{cm} \times 16 \, \text{cm} = 448 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Step 2: Calculate the area of the small rectangle.
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{small}} = 8 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 48 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Step 3: Subtract the area of the small rectangle from the area of the large rectangle.
