The shape can be broken into two separate rectangles of the forms below.
Bothe shapes give a rectangle, therefore the area of the shape is
Area of Shape = Area of rectangle A + Area of rectangle B
Since Area of rectangle = LENGTH X BREADTH, we then have below
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area of shape = (28 x 7)}+(25\times30) \\ =196+750 \\ =946\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]In conclusion, the answer is 946 square inches
