HELP ASAP PLEASE GIVING BRAINLIEST Help Valerie decompose the shape into the fewest simple shapes. Which shapes can you divide the figure into? How many of each shape do you get?

It can be decomposed into the following simplest shapes:

TWO RECTANGLES AND ONE TRIANGLE  

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the picture attached that it can be decomposed into the following simplest shapes:

Two Rectangles.

One Triangle.

Because,

The area of the a rectangle can be found with:

A= lw

Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

You can identify in the picture that:

lA: 14 ft

Wa: 13ft -7ft= 6ft

1b= 20 ft

wb= 7ft

So, Substituting the values, you get that the areas of the rectangles A and B are:

Aa: (14ft) (6ft)= 84ft²

Ab: (20ft) (7ft) = 140ft²

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

A=

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

In this case:

b= 20ft- 14ft= 6ft

h= 6ft

Then, its area is:

Ac =

which iis 18ft²

Then, it will bring the total area of carpet that Valerie needs:

At= Aa+ Ab+ Ac

At= 84ft² + 140ft² + 18ft²

At= 242²
