Answer: 122.5 square cm

======================================================

Work Shown:

A = area of trapezoid RSTU

A = height*(base1+base2)/2

A = ST*(UT+RS)/2

A = 14*(5+10)/2

A = 105 square cm

-----------------------

B = area of rectangle PQWV

B = length*width

B = WV*PV

B = 7*2.5

B = 17.5 square cm

If you're curious how I got PV = 2.5, you basically cut PT = 10 in half twice. So you go from 10 to 5, then from 5 to 2.5; which works because we have a bunch of midpoints.

-----------------------

C = total shaded area

C = A + B

C = 105 + 17.5

C = 122.5
