Answer:

875 ft²

Explanation:

Finding area of similar rectangles:

Scale factor = EF : AB

= 25 : 5

= 5 : 1


\sf (Area \ of \ bigger \ rectangle)/(Area \ of \ smaller \ rectangle)= (Scale \ factor)^2


(Area \ of \ bigger \ rectangle)/(35) =\left((5)/(1)\right)^2


\text{Area of bigger rectangle = $(25)/(1)*35$}

Area or rectangle EFGH = 875 ft²
