Answer:


\boxed{42.5 \: {units}^(2) }

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape could be divided into a rectangle and a trapezoid ( bottom part )

Let's find the area of the given shape:

Area of the given shape =
\mathsf{ (l * b) + (1)/(2) (b1 + b2)h}

plug the values


\mathsf{ = (3.5 * 9) + (1)/(2) (9 +9 - (5 + 2) * 2}


\mathsf{ = (3.5 * 9) + (1)/(2) (9 + 2)(2)}


\mathsf{ = 31.5 + (1)/(2) * 11 * 2}


\mathsf{ = 31.5 + 11}


\mathsf{ = 42.5 \: {units}^(2) }

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
