Question

The figure shown is made up of a square and a triangle. Express the area of the figure in terms of y.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y^2+2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square can be found by $s^2$ and the area of a triangle can be found by $\frac{1}{2}b*h$.

The area of the square with side length y is $y^2$.

The area of the triangle with the base 4 and height y is $\frac{1}{2}4*y = 2y$

Adding the areas together gives $y^2+2y$
