use the number pad to enter your answer in the box.
the total area of the shape is square feet.

Explanation:

Step1: Find area of one square

Each square has side length \( 10 \) ft. The area of a square is \( \text{side}^2 \), so area of one square is \( 10 \times 10 = 100 \) square feet.

Step2: Count number of squares

Looking at the shape, we can see there are \( 5 \) squares (3 in the top row, 2 in the bottom row).

Step3: Calculate total area

Multiply the area of one square by the number of squares: \( 100 \times 5 = 500 \).

Answer:

500
