![### Find the area of the shape shown below.
In this diagram, we are given a composite shape highlighted in purple. The shape consists of a combination of a rectangle and right-angled triangles. Specific dimensions are provided on parts of the shape:
- The left side of the shape is labeled as 3.5 units.
- The bottom side of the rectangular section within the shape has a length of 2 units.
- The height of the rectangular section is 2 units.
- There are additional right-angled triangles attached to the top and bottom of this rectangle, each contributing dimensions for calculation:
- The triangles on both left and right sides of the rectangle have a height of 2 units and a base extension of 2 units.
- The top side of the shape extending from the top right to the left side is 5 units long.
Below the diagram, there is an input box for entering the calculated area of the shape in square units (units²).
**Input Box:**
