Answer:

All you need to do is split the shape so that you can find the individual area

Explanation:

So we first split the shape so we get a triangle...

  • A=1/2bh
  • B=2
  • H=4
  • A=1/2*2*4
  • A=4

Now we split the shape again to get another square...

  • A=lw
  • A=2*4
  • A=8

Then we find the area of the other square...

  • A=lw
  • A=2*5
  • A=10

Our last step is to add all the areas together

  • we let TA represent Total area
  • TA=4+8+10
  • TA=22

Hence the area is 22
