One way to find the area of this shape is to add up the areas of all of the interior shapes. To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula A=1/2bh. To find the area of a square, we use the formula A = s^2.
We will begin by finding the area of the triangle on the left side of the figure.
A = 1/2bh= 1/2(2)(2)= 1/2(4)= 2 units^2
Then we can do the same for the triangle on the right side of the figure.
A = 1/2bh = (1/2)(4)(2) = (1/2)(8) = 4 units^2
Finally, we can find the area of the inner square.
A = s^2 = 2^2 = 4 units^2
Now, we must add up the areas of these smaller shapes to find the total area.
A = 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 units^2
Therefore, your answer is 10 units^2.
Hope this helps!
