Answer:
5.4 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Figuring out the area of shapes like these are quite simple, you first have to break apart this shape to make solving this easier. If you draw a line and break off the triangle from the square you will get 2 different shapes. A square with all the sides being 2 inches, and a triangle that is 2 inches tall and 1.4 inches across (you subtract 3.4 by 2). Next you just use the equation (2 * 2) + ((1.4 * 2)/2). Multiply 2 by 2 (which is 4) and you get the area of the square (you multiply the base by the width). And for the triangle you multiple 1.4 by 2 (you get 2.8)... But because it's a triangle you have to divide that number by 2 since the triangle is half of a square. So 2.8 / 2 is going to be 1.4. After that you now have the equation 4 + 1.4 and the answer is going to be 5.4.
I think it’s C, correct me if I’m mistaken.
I'm sure it's B
hope this helps :)
