Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
the figure consists of 4 triangles and a central square
area of triangle is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
the left an right triangles are congruent as are the top and bottom ones.
area of top / bottom = 2 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 2 × 2 = 2 × 2 = 4 units²
area of left/ right = 2 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 2 × 3 = 2 × 3 = 6 units²
area of central square = 2 × 2 = 4 units²
then
area of figure = 4 + 6 + 4 = 14 units²
