Question

Can you help me with these two because I don't understand​

Answer 1

Answer: 1: 34 units    2: 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For figure 1, just split the area into squares and triangles and find the area of each. If you split figure 1 into 1 square and 3 triangles you get...

4x4= 16

(4x3)/2= 6

(4x4)/2= 8

(4x2)/2= 3

16+6+8+3 = 34

You do the same for figure 2, but use 4 triangles and 1 tiny square

1x1= 1

(4x3)/2= 6

(3x3)/2= 4.5

(4x4)/2= 8

(5x5)/2= 5

1+6+4.5+8+5= 24.5

You shouldn't need to worry about negative numbers because you are looking at the area
