Answer:

8 squared units

Sorry if this answer is not correct, if it is or is not, please tell me in the comments!

Explanation:

Rectangle:

To find the area of the rectangle, we need to mutiply the base and the height. 3 units(base) x 2 units(height) = 6 squared units

Triangle:

To find the area of the triangle is very similar to finding the area of the rectangle. We need to multiply the base and the height and divide it by 2.

Base= 2 units(since it is a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length)

Height = 2 units

Next, we plug it in to this formula: 1/2 bh (b = base and h = height)

multiplying by one half is the same as dividing by 2

The area of the triangle is 2 x 2 = 4

4 divided by 2 = 2 squared units

For the final step, we add the areas together. (6+2 = 8) the label is very important (squared units)
