Answer:
Area = 12
Explanation:
The perpendicular bisector of the triangle going from upper left to the middle marks the height of the triangle. It's area is found from the standard formula.
Area = b * h / 2
b = 2 + 2 = 4
h = 8
Area = 1/2 * 4 * 8
Area = 1/2 * 32
Area = 16
The smaller triangle is found from all the twos.
b = 2 + 2 same as the larger triangle
h = 2
Area = 1/2 2 * 4
Area = 1/2 8
Area = 4
Total Area = 4 + 16
Total Area = 20
