.

If you make a sketch, you will find that the figure is the union of two trapezoids, oriented VERTICALLY.

They are separated by vertical line x= 3.5.

So, the area of the figure is the sum of areas of two trapezoids.

If you know the formula for the area of a trapezoid, then you should be able to complete the rest ON YOUR OWN.

You may report me about two things:

        1) If everything is clear to you from my post,

    and

        2)  If you were able to complete this assignment on your own.

I will look forward hoping to hear from you.

If you will respond, then PLEASE refer to the ID number of this problem, which is 1175678.

If you will not refer, I will not know to which problem your response does relate.

If you do not respond, I will think that you are not interested in solving this problem.

Good luck (!)
