Answer:

20 square feet^2

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

The area of a triangle is

= 1 ÷ 2 × base × height

Now for the one triangle is

= 2 × 4 ÷ 2

= 4

No multiplied it by four sides

So, it would be

= 4 × 4

= 16

And, the base of the sqaure is

= 2 × 2

= 4

So, the overall shape would be

= 16 + 4

= 20 square feet^2
