Question

Estimate the area of each figure. each square represents 1 square foot.

Answer 1

I thinks it’s 25ft ^2

Answer 2

Answer:

12 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you split up the 4 triangles you would have 8 right triangles

To solve for 1 right triangle you use the formula : 1/2 • l • h

1/2 • 1 • 2 = 1

Since there’s 8 right triangles you do:

8 • 1 = 8

Now the inner shape (a square):

2 • 2 = 4

Add up the areas:

8 + 4 = 12
