Answer:

38.5 sq units

Explanation:

Hello!

We can split the shape into two rectangles.

The small rectangle at the top has an area of 14 sq units (2 * 7).

The middle rectangle has an area of 49 sq units ( 7*7).

Since the blue part in the middle rectangle is half of the whole rectangle, the area of the blue part there is 24.5 sq units.

Adding that to 14 sq units will give us 38.5 sq units.
