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
[tex]A=\frac{2*2}{2} =2[/tex]
Area of the square
Side=2
Length=2
[tex]A_2=2*2=4[/tex]
Area of the second triangle
Base=2
Height=6
[tex]A_3=\frac{2*6}{2} =6[/tex]
so we need to add all three areas
[tex]A_T=A_1+A_2+A_3\\\\A_T=2+4+6=12\\\\A_T=12[/tex]
So the area is 12 units²
