the answer should be 12 units^2

starting from the left side of the shape you multiply base 2 by height 2 which gets 4 then divide by 2 since it is a triangle. next multiply 2x2 for the square in the middle which gets you 4. lastly multiply 6x2 for the triangle on the right which gets you 12 however bc it is a triangle you must divide by 2 and get 6. then add them all together and you get 12.

Answer:

12 [tex]units^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is do each shape then add them all up

small triangle:

a = b * h/2

a = 2 * 2/2

a = 4/2

a = 2

The area for the small triangle is 2

Sqaure:

a = b*h

a = 2*2

a = 4

The area for the sqaure is 4

Large triangle:

a = b*h/2

a = 6*2/2

a = 12/2

a = 6

The area for the larger square is 6

Now we add up all of the areas

2 + 4 + 6 = 12

The area for that shape is 12 [tex]units^{2}[/tex]

Hint: We divide by 2 for the triangles bc it's half a shape not a full rectangle of square...

Hope this helped!
