Question

Find the area of the shape shown below. 2 2 4 Hurry and answer plz!!!! 1

Answer 1

Answer:

7 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break down this complex shape into smaller shapes.

I've broken it down into a rectangle, a square, and a triangle (See attached picture)

Let's first find the area of the triangle. To do this we use the formula $\frac{bh}{2}$. The base is 1 (because the top is 2, and 1 is already used on the triangle - 2-1 = 1.) and the height is 2 (because 4 is already used on the left, and 2 was used on the right so 4-2=2).

$\frac{2\cdot1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$.

Now let's find the area of the top square - we can just square 2 which is 4.

To find the area of the bottom rectangle, we can multiply it's two side lengths of 2 and 1 = 2.

Adding these all together gets us 4+2+1 = 7.

Hope this helped!
