Find the area of the following shape. Show work.

The total area:

12 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three parts on this shape:

1 big right triangle

1 rectangle

1 small right triangle

area = (4*4)/2 = 16/2 = 8units²

area = 2*1 = 2units²

area = (2*2)/2 = 2units²

8+2+2 = 12 units²

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
