Question

Find the area of the shape shown below

Answer 1

The area is 6

Explanation:

Divide the shape into a square and a triangle. Find the area of the square 2×2=4. Then pretend the triangle is another square with an area of 4. The area of that square is 4 because the top length is 2 because you can divide the length of the top. Then divide that by 2 which equals 2. Then add both areas. 4+2=6

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

split it into a square and triangle

square = 2 *2 = 4

triangle = 1/2 * 2 *2 = 4

4 + 2 = 6
