Answer:

The area of the figure is
54.5cm^2

Explanation:

The above figure is made by a rectangle and a trapezium

The area of the figure is :

Area of the rectangle+ Area of the Trapezium

(Length*Width)+(1/2*(sum of the opposite sides)*height)

Area of the figure :


(7*4.5)+(1/2(4.5+7)4)\\\\ =31.5+(11.5*2)\\\\ = 31.5+23\\\\ = 54.5 cm^2

The area of the figure is
54.5cm^2
