Solution

The correct option is D 72 sq.ft
The dimensions of the letter L is as follows:


First let us divide the letter into two rectangles as shown below:


Next, we calculate the area of each rectangle.

We know,
Area of a Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Area of the blue colured rectangle at the top =10 ft×4 ft=40 sq.ft.

Area of the green colured rectangle at the bottom =8 ft×4 ft=32 sq.ft.


Total Area =40 sq.ft.+32 sq.ft.
=72 sq.ft.

Hence, the area of the letter L in the sculpture would be 72 sq.ft.
