Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the figure is 28 units².

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the full rectangle, ignoring the triangle.

$a = lw \\ a = 4 \times 8 = 32$

Then, find the area of the triangle:

$a = \frac{bh}{2} \\ a = \frac{2 \times 4}{2} \\ a = 4$

Finally, subtract:

$32 - 4 = 28$
