The shape in the image is a trapezium. The area of a trapezium is given by:
[tex]A_{trapezium}=\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ (a + b)h}[/tex]From the image, a= 3.5 feet, b= 4.5 feet and h = 2 feet.
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{trapezium}=\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ ( 3.5 + 4.5) 2} \\ A_{trapezium}=8ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the area of the figure is 8 square feet
