Answer 1

The shape in the image is a trapezium. The area of a trapezium is given by:

`A_(trapezium)=\text{ }(1)/(2)\text{ (a + b)h}`

From the image, a= 3.5 feet, b= 4.5 feet and h = 2 feet.

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} A_(trapezium)=\text{ }(1)/(2)\text{ ( 3.5 + 4.5) 2} \\ A_(trapezium)=8ft^2 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the area of the figure is 8 square feet
