Question

What is the area of the figure in square units?​

Answer 1

Area of a Rectangle: l x w

2 x 3 = 6

Area of a Triangle:

`(b * h)/(2)`

The slanted height of the triangle is 2 and the base of the triangle is also 2 so

`(2 * 2)/(2) \\ \\ (4)/(2) = 2`

So to get the area of the figure you add the area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle.

6+2=8

The area of the figure is 8 units square
