starting from the left side of the shape you multiply base 2 by height 2 which gets 4 then divide by 2 since it is a triangle. next multiply 2x2 for the square in the middle which gets you 4. lastly multiply 6x2 for the triangle on the right which gets you 12 however bc it is a triangle you must divide by 2 and get 6. then add them all together and you get 12.
