To find the area of the figure, we need to find the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle separately, and then add them together.
Let's say the length of the rectangle is x ft and the width is y ft. The area of the rectangle is then x * y.
The triangle is a right triangle with one side as the base of the rectangle and the other side as the height of the rectangle. So, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * x * y.
Adding the area of the rectangle and the triangle, we get the total area of the figure:
Area = x * y + (1/2) * x * y
= (x + 1/2 * x) * y
= (3/2 * x) * y
= (3/2) * (x * y)
Since the area of the figure is given as 69 ft^2, we can set up the equation:
(3/2) * (x * y) = 69
To solve for x and y, we need more information about the figure. Without additional information, we cannot determine the exact area of the figure. Therefore, none of the given options (69 ft^2, 57 ft^2, 34.5 ft^2, or 45 ft^2) are correct.
