Answer:
[tex]A=470\frac{1}{4}ft^2[/tex]
Detailed Explanation: The area of the figure provided is the sum of two areas, a rectangle, and a triangle:
The total area is calculated next, and the necessary steps are shown as follows
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=A_1+A_2 \\ A_1=\frac{1}{2}(b\cdot h)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\lbrack(25ft-22.5ft)\times19.8ft\rbrack \\ A_1=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\lbrack2.5ft\times19.8ft\rbrack=\frac{49.5ft^2}{2}=24.75ft^2 \\ A_1=24.75ft^2 \\ A_2=w\cdot h=22.5ft\cdot19.8ft=445.5ft^2 \\ A_2=445.5ft^2 \\ \therefore\Rightarrow \\ A=A_1+A_2=24.75ft^2+445.5ft^2 \\ A=470.25ft^2 \\ A=470\frac{1}{4}ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
