Answer 1

To find the area of the shape using the steps you've provided, let's fill in the missing parts:

1. **Find the midpoint** of the line that connects A to B and the line that connects A to D.

To find the midpoint between two points (let's call them \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \)), you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)
\]
Calculate the midpoint for line segment \( AB \) and the midpoint for line segment \( AD \).

2. Now we will **multiply** the lengths of the two midpoints obtained in step 1 to find the area. If the distance between the midpoints is represented as base and height/width, then:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]

Ensure to correctly substitute the lengths obtained in step 1.

The final answer is **5 square feet**.

Make sure to confirm the exact coordinates or lengths you are working with for more precise calculations!
