The total area of the window is 4.125 square feet.

To find the total area of the window, we need to find the areas of each section and add them together.

We can write an equation to model this problem:

total_area = section1_area + section2_area + section3_area

where:

total_area is the total area of the window

section1_area is the area of the first section of the window

section2_area is the area of the second section of the window

section3_area is the area of the third section of the window

We can then calculate the area of each section by multiplying its width and height.

section1_area = section1_width * section1_height

section2_area = section2_width * section2_height

section3_area = section3_width * section3_height

Plugging these values into the original equation, we get:

total_area = (section1_width * section1_height) + (section2_width * section2_height) + (section3_width * section3_height)

total_area = (1.8 ft * 1.25 ft) + (1.5 ft * 0.75 ft) + (1.5 ft * 0.5 ft)

total_area = 2.25 ft² + 1.125 ft² + 0.75 ft²

total_area = 4.125 ft²

Therefore, the total area of the window is 4.125 square feet.
