Answer:
44 sq m
Step-by-step explanation:
A = b*h
Giant Square (bottom):
A = 8 * 4 = 32
Small Square (top):
A = 4 * 2 = 8
Triangle:
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]b*h
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](2) * (2) = 2
Since there are two triangles, then you wold double this value.
2 * 2 = 4
Now that you have all of the areas for the different shapes, you add them all together to get the total area of the entire shape.
32 + 8 + 4 = 44
So, the area of the shape is 44 square meters (sq m)
