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.
