**Find the area of the shape shown below.**
![Composite Shape](#)
- **Diagram Description:**
- The composite shape consists of a larger rectangle and an adjacent trapezoid.
- The top edge of the composite shape measures 9.0 units.
- The left vertical edge of the rectangle measures 3.5 units.
- A portion of the bottom part text is divided into smaller sections with each segment detailed in length:
- The leftmost segment is labeled 2 units.
- Adjacent to this, moving towards the center, are three segments each measuring 2 units.
- The total bottom horizontal length of the shape adds up to (2 units + 2 units + 5 units).
- **Task:**
- Calculate the total area of the composite shape and enter the answer in the box provided below.

**Answer Box:**
```markdown
[________] units²
```
Feel free to solve for the area of this composite shape by breaking down the sections based on the given measurements and summing their areas.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5cb7ebfc-d0c5-4532-b2f0-75a956d47556%2F5818b979-94d2-4256-a8e5-54f1081fc8e2%2Fy809z2.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
