Answer:

5

Explanation:

The area of each square is equal to 1.

We can see that two triangles could form a rectangle with 10 units of area, so it's just divide it.

10/2=5units

Hope this helps.

Answer:

well its 2 across and 5 up and down

so you take 2 times 5 to get 10 but sense its a triangle you have to divide by 2 so the answer would be 10 divided by 2= 5 units squared
