You cut the shape so that there is a square and a triangle
area of a square= length x width (s^2)
area of triangle = base x height / 2

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:If you divide the shape into a square( left side) and a triangle ( right side), you find the squares area as 4. Right triangles are just half a square, and because the rectangle has a 2-1 ratio, the triangles area would be 2. Add the triangles and the squares area and it gives you 6.
