Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINEST TO THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer: 27.89905693 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide the shape into smaller pieces, then find the area of these pieces and then add them up to get the area of the whole shape.

Area of first triangle = 1/2×2×2 = 2

Area of second triangle = 1/2×2×5 = 5

Area of square = 2×2 = 4

Summing up the smaller sides of the shape, we obtain a larger triangle with sides 3.5 and a base of 9. Thus we find the longest/hypotenuse side by applying the Pythagoras Theorem

√((3.5)² + 9²) = √93.25

Area of large triangle = 1/2×3.5×√93.25 = 16.89905693

Add up the areas to find the area of the shape = 16.89905693+5+4+2 = 27.89905693
