Question

What is the area of this figure?
​

Answer 1

first, calculate the area of the square, which is 25

next, find the area of one half of the triangle by multiplying 2.5 and 4 (10), then dividing that by 2 (5).

since the two half’s of the triangle are symmetrical, just add 5 and 5 to get 10.

add the area of the triangle (10) and the square (25) to get the total area.

the answer should be 35

hope this helps!
