Question

Find the area of the shape shown below. 6 2. units2

Answer 1

Answer:

12 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to notice that the shape has two right triangles and a rectangle

the area of right triangles is b*h/2 and of the rectangle side*length

area of first triangle

Base=2

Height=2

$A=\frac{2*2}{2} =2$

Area of the square

Side=2

Length=2

$A_2=2*2=4$

Area of the second triangle

Base=2

Height=6

$A_3=\frac{2*6}{2} =6$

so we need to add all three areas

$A_T=A_1+A_2+A_3\\\\A_T=2+4+6=12\\\\A_T=12$

So the area is 12 units²

Answer 2

Answer:

12 $units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

square: 2 x 2 = 4 units sq

small triangle: 2 x 2 = 4, 4 / 2 = 2 units sq

big triangle: 2 x 6 = 12, 12 / 2 = 6 units sq

4 + 2 + 6 = 12 units sq
