The figure contains two right angle triangles. The height is 3 cm and the base is 2 cm
The formula for determining the area of a triangle is
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area of one triangle = 1/2 x 2 x 3 = 3 cm^2
Area of the two triangles = 3 x 2 = 6m^2
It also has a rectangle whose length is 3 cm and width is 2cm
Area of rectangle = 2 x 3 = 6 cm^2
The area of the figure = area of rectangle + area of both triangles. Thus,
Area of figure = 6 + 6 = 12 cm squared
