Answer:
42 square centimeters
Explanation:
We know all the sides of the square is 6 cm.
The side of a square and the triangle on the bottom add to 8 cm.
The bottom part of the triangle must be 2 cm.
The area of the square is 36 square centimeters as we use the formula Area = side x side for a square.
The height of the triangle is 6cm as it is as tall as the square.
The formula of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height.
1/2*(6)*(2) = 6 square centimetes.
Adding the two together,
36 + 6 = 42
