Answer:

242 ft²

Explanation:

The shape can be decomposed to give us a trapezium and a rectangle

Area of the shape = area of the trapezium + area of the rectangle

✔️Area of the trapezium = ½(a + b)h

a = 14 ft

b = 20 ft

h = 13 - 7 = 6 ft

Area = ½(14 + 20)*6

Area of trapezium = 102 ft²

✔️Area of rectangle = L*W

L = 20 ft

W = 7 ft

Area = 20*7 = 140 ft²

✔️Area of the shape = 102 + 140 = 242 ft²
