Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

Area of a trapezoid =
(1)/(2)(b_1+b_2)h

Here,
b_1 and
b_2 are the bases and 'h' is the height between the bases.

Area of the composite figure = Area of two trapezoids given

=
(1)/(2)(12+12)14+(1)/(2)(25+31)11

=
(1)/(2)(24)(14)+(1)/(2)(56)(11)

= 168 + 308

= 476 square ft

Option 4 is the answer.
