Question

What is the area of this shape?!

Answer 1

Ok, first let’s find the area of the square in the middle.

The formula for finding the area of a square is LxW, so we would multiply 3x3 to get a area of 9.

Then we would fine the area of the triangle.

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height.

So we would do the expression 1/2(3x2) which equals 3.

Since there are four triangles, we would multiply 3 by 4 to get 12.

Then we would add 12 (the area of the triangles) to 9 (the area of the square) to get a final area of 21 square meters.

To conclude, the area of the figure is 21 square meters

I hope this helped! :-)

Answer 2

The answer to this problem is 20 square meters. The triangles are 2. There is 4 of them. That is 8. The sides of the square are 3. There is 4. That is 12. Add the numbers up together and you get your final answer. 20 square meters.
