Answer 1

Answer: 42.5 unit^2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{42.5 \: {units}^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape could be divided into a rectangle and a trapezoid ( bottom part )

Let's find the area of the given shape:

Area of the given shape = $\mathsf{ (l \times b) + \frac{1}{2} (b1 + b2)h}$

plug the values

$\mathsf{ = (3.5 \times 9) + \frac{1}{2} (9 +9 - (5 + 2) \times 2}$

$\mathsf{ = (3.5 \times 9) + \frac{1}{2} (9 + 2)(2)}$

$\mathsf{ = 31.5 + \frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times 2}$

$\mathsf{ = 31.5 + 11}$

$\mathsf{ = 42.5 \: {units}^{2} }$

Hope I helped!
