Answer:

35 mi²

Explanation:

Let's subdivide the figure, as shown.

The lower part is a rectangle whose area is (5 mi)(18 mi) = 90 mi².

The upper part is a trapezoid whose area is found by averaging the length and multiplying the result by the width (8 mi - 5 mi), or 3 mi.

Area of trapezoid:

12 mi + 18 mi

------------------------ = 15 mi Width of trapezoid = 3 mi

2

Thus, the area of the trapezoid is (3 mi)(15 mi) = 45 mi²

and the total area of the entire figure is

45 mi² + 90 mi² = 135 mi²
