Answer:

26.75 units²

Explanation:

Decomposing the figure given to us we would have 3 triangles of different dimensions and 1 square.

Find the area of each then sum all together to get the area of the figure.

✔️Area of Triangle 1 (the biggest triangle):

Area = ½*base*height

height = 3.5

base = 2 + 2 + 5 = 9

Area = ½*9*3.5 = 15.75 units²

✔️Area of Triangle 2 (the medium triangle):

Area = ½*base*height

height = 2

base = 5

Area = ½*5*2 = 5 units²

✔️Area of Triangle 3 (the smallest triangle):

Area = ½*base*height

height = 2

base = 2

Area = ½*2*2 = 2 units²

✔️Area of the square:

Area = s²

s = 2

Area = 2² = 4 units²

✅Area of the figure = 15.75 + 5 + 2 + 4 = 26.75 units²
