Answer:

28 units^2

Explanation:

1. First, let's divide this figure into two shapes: a square and a trapezoid. (Look at the image below explanation for division).

2. Next, we should know the area formulas of the square and trapezoid.

  • Square:
    s^2, where s = side

  • (a+b)/(2)h, where a and b = top and bottom and h = height

3. Solving Area of Square and Trapezoid


  • 4^2 = 4 * 4 = 16. Area of square is 16

  • (4+2)/(2)*4 = (6)/(2) * 4 = 3 * 4 = 12. Area of trapezoid is 12.
  • 16 + 12 = 28

Therefore, the area of the figure is 28 units^2.
