ASAPPPPPP

Answer 1

`A=20 units^2`

Explanation:

I would separate out the shape into two equal right triangles over a square. The total area can then be found by adding these areas together:

`A_t=2A_\Delta +A_s\\A_t=2((1)/(2)bh)+(s)^2\\b=2 units\\h=2units\\s=4units\\A_t=2[(1)/(2)(2units)(2units)]+(4units)^2\\A_t=4units^2+16units^2\\A_t=20units^2`
