Question

Find the area of the following shape. You must show all work to receive credit.

Answer 1

Answer:

8 unit ^2   or 8cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area 1

1/2 ( 3 x 3 ) = 4.5 unit ^2

area 2 we split the triangle into half

= 1/2 ( 2 x 2) = 2 unit ^2

we know the other half is also  2 unit ^2 but we add then subtract

1/2 (1 x 1) = 0.5^2

To get

4.5 + 2+ 2 - ( 0.5)  = 8 unit ^2
