Answer:


\boxed{\text{38.5 units}^(2)}

Explanation:

The polygon is a trapezoid on its side.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is

A = ½(a + b)h,

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the distance between them.

AD = a = 2 – (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4 units

BC = b = 2 – (-5) = 2 + 5 = 7 units

AB = h = 3 – (-4) = 3 + 4 = 7 units

A = ½(4 + 7) × 7 = ½ × 11 × 7 = 38.5 units²


\boxed{\text{A = 38.5 units}^(2)}
