the answer is 48.5
The area of the rectangle is the product of the length of the sides (provided the units of length are the same). Imagine a rectangle 6ft long and 10ft wide. You could even draw it if it helps. 6 multiplied by 10 is 60, so the area of a 6ft*10ft rectangle is 60ft2 or 60 sq. ft.
It is not possible to provide an answer. Four linear measurements suggest that the figure is a quadrilateral of some sort. Unfortunately, information about the lengths of the sides is not enough to uniquely identify the shape and so the area cannot be determined. In order to see why the area cannot be determined, consider a rectangle with sides of 1 cm, 2cm, 1 cm and 2 cm. Clearly, its area is 1*2 = 2 cm2. However, the rectangle can be "distorted" into a parallelogram, with the same sides, but whose vertical height (and so its area) is reduced to 0!
It is: 2(24)+2(46)+2(2*6) = 88 square feet
Assuming that "16ft by 6ft" are the dimensions of a rectangle (rather than an ellipse, for example), the area is 16*6 = 96 square feet.
