Question 24 of 25What is the area of the figure?

SOLUTION
Considering the shape,
Notice that the shape has two triangles.
Considering the trianglesl,the whole image can be seen as a rectangle.
Hence the area of the ractangle from the grid is 28 square units.
Notice that each triangle has an height of 2 units and base of 4 units
Hence the anrea is:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times4\times2=4[/tex]Hence the area of the given figure is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 28-4-4 \\ =20 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the area of the figure is 20 square units.
