Since the shape is not a standard geometric shape, we can divide it into two rectangles and add their areas.
First rectangle: length = 14 ft, width = 7 ft
Area of first rectangle = length x width = 14 ft x 7 ft = 98 square feet
Second rectangle: length = 12 ft, width = 27 ft (since the total width of the room is 34 ft and the first rectangle is 7 ft wide)
Area of second rectangle = length x width = 12 ft x 27 ft = 324 square feet
Total area = area of first rectangle + area of second rectangle = 98 square feet + 324 square feet = 422 square feet
Therefore, the area of the bedroom is 422 square feet.
Find the area of the bedroom with the shape shown in the figure, in square feet. 14 ft, 7 ft , 12 ft, 34 ft.
