Answer: 16ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to split this arrow into 2 shapes; a triangle and a rectangle.
To work out the area of the rectangle you would do 2x6=12
Then to work out the area of the triangle you would have to do 2+1+1=4 (this is the base, b, of the triangle).
To work out the height, h, of the triangle you have to do 8-6=2
The formula for the area of the triangle is bxh/2 which is 4x2/2= 4
Then you have to add the area of the triangle and the rectangle (12+4=16)
