Question

PLS HELP - what is the area of the shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the shape is 6 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us divide the shape into a square and a triangle for easy understanding. refer the below figure

Step 1: finding the area of the square

The side of the square is 2

Hence the area if the square  

=> 2 X 2

=> 4 square units

Step 2: finding the area of the triangle

The area of the triangle   =  $\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

substituting the values

The area of the triangle  

=> $\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 2$

=> $\frac{1}{2} \times 4$

=> $\frac{4}{2}$

=> 2 square units

Step 3 : finding the area of the shape

The area of the shape  =  area of the square +  area of the triangle

=> 4 + 2

=> 6 square units
