**Find the area of the shape shown below.**
- **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.
