To find the total area of the garden, we need to calculate the area of the triangle and the trapezoid separately and then add them together.
Area of the triangle:
1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 12 * 8 = 48 square feet
Area of the trapezoid:
1/2 * (base1 + base2) * height = 1/2 * (12 + 8) * 8 = 80 square feet
Total area of the garden:
48 (triangle) + 80 (trapezoid) = 128 square feet
Therefore, the total area of Tyler's garden is 128 square feet.
