Area of shape P = 12 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Shape P is a triangle with the base of 4 units across the horizontal portion up top.

The height of the triangle is 6 units. Count the spaces down the middle of the triangle and you should get 6 spaces.

Area = base*height/2

Area = 4*6/2

Area = 24/2

Area = 12 square cm.
