Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

26.75 units squared

Explanation:

area of a triangle is AT = 1/2 x base x height

area of a square is AT = base x height

ATa = 1/2 x 9 x 3.5

ATa = 15.75

ATb = 1/2 x 5 x 2

ATb = 5

ATc = 1/2 x 2 x 2

ATc = 2

AS = 2 x 2

AS = 4

TA = 4 + 2 + 5 + 15.75

TA = 26.75
