Answer:

The area of the shape (trapezoid) is 55 square feet.

Explanation:

The formula to get the area of a trapezoid is
((b_(1) +b_(2) )/2)*h . b1 is one of the bases, b2 is the other and h is the height.

First, you need to find the average of the bases:

(15+7=22)/2=11

Then, you multiply that by the height.

11*5=55

Lastly, you add the units.

55 square feet is the answer
