How to get the area of the lion?check the enclosed photo please!

Answer 1

The area of the lion is 6m

Because: This shape is difficult to find the area of so lets break it up into a square an 2 triangles. The squares dimensions are 2mx2m, to find the area of this we multiple them together to get, 4m. Next the triangles are the same dimensions so finding one, we find the other. The dimensions of these are 2mx1m. To find the area of a triangle you multiple the 2 sides (not the diagonal side) and divide by 2. 2x1 is 2, divided by 2 is 1. So the area of both of the triangles is 1. Now we just need to add all of these together. 4m+1m+1m= 6m
