Answer:

  26.75 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Above the dashed horizontal line(s) is a triangle with base 9 and height 3.5. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)bh

  A = (1/2)(9)(3.5) = 15.75 . . . . square units

__

Below the dashed horizontal line(s) is a trapezoid with bases 9 and 2, and height 2. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(9 +2)(2) = 11 . . . . square units

The sum of these areas is the area of the shape:

  total area = 15.75 +11 = 26.75 . . . . square units
