The student is not correct (see the procedure)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A deck can be broken into a rectangle and triangle

The area of the deck is equal to sum the area of a rectangle plus the area of a triangle

Find the area of rectangle

$A=(8)(4)=32\ ft^2$

Find the area of triangle

$A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(2)=4\ ft^2$

Adds the areas

$32+4=36\ ft^2$

therefore

The student is not correct
