Answer:

The figure is 5.5in^2.

Explanation:

To find the area of the triangle portion, we will use the formula for area of a triangle,
(bh)/(2), where b = base and h = height.

So lets find our variables,

b = 3

h = 3

So we can plug that into our equation and find the area,

3 · 3 = 9 and 9 ÷ 2 = 4.5

So the area of the triangle is 4.5in^2

To find the area of the square portion, we will use the formula for the area of a square or rectangle, l · w, where l = length and w = width

So lets find our variables,

l = 1

w = 1

So 1 · 1 = 1in^2

To find the total area we will add the areas of the two components together,

4.5 + 1 = 5.5in^2

So the area of the total figure is 5.5in^2.
