Answer:

10 square units.

Explanation:

Remark

No matter how weird it looks, the figure is a trapezoid. It has 2 parallel lines.

The height has 2 right angles, one at each end.

Givens

b1 = 2

b2 = 8

h = 2

Formula

Area = 1/2 * (b1 + b2 ) * h

Solution

Area = 1/2 * (2 + 4 + 2 + 2) * 2 Be sure you understand where all those 2s came from.

Area = 10 square units
