Answer:

6 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The banner is made up of two congruent triangles and two congruent trapezoids.

The banner forms a triangle with base:


\begin{gathered} 1(3)/(4)+1+1+1(3)/(4) \\ =5.5\text{meters} \end{gathered}

The height of the triangle = 2 meters.

Therefore, the area of the banner:


\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)bh \\ =(1)/(2)*5.5*2 \\ =5.5m^2 \end{gathered}

The measure that is the best estimate of the area of the banner is 6 square meters.
