the shape you have described is a trapezoid.
There will be three "straight" lines and one "diagonal line ... the straight line OPPOSITE the diagonal one is the "altitude".

Multiply the altitude by the AVERAGE of the other two.
IE Altitude * (L1+L2)/2
3 * (7+2)/2
3 * 4.5
=13.5 (remember it will be "units SQUARED" because it is area
