A of square = 2 x 2 = 4

A of figure = 2 + 4 + 4 = 10m^2

Step-by-step explanation: i later saw someone else answered after i did it but i believe them to be right also this may have been hard when you first learned but later it is easy they already explained how to do it so i will use theirs

Divide the figure into 3 smaller figures (a triangle, a rectangle, and a square). Then, solve for the area of each composite figure.

A of triangle = (2 x 2)/2 = 2

A of rectangle = 4 x 1 = 4

A of square = 2 x 2 = 4

A of figure = 2 + 4 + 4 = 10m^2Step-by-step explanation:
