Find the area of the shape shown below.
units?

Area of the shape = 7 unit²

Solution:

The given image is splitted into two figures.

One is square and the other is trapezium.

Side length of the square = 2 units

Area of the square = side × side

                                = 2 × 2

Area of the square = 4 unit²

Top base of the trapezium () = 2 units

Bottom base of the trapezium = 1 unit

Height of the trapezium = 4 - 2 = 2 units

Area of the trapezium =

Area of the trapezium = 3 unit²

Area of the shape = Area of the square +  Area of the trapezium

                              = 4 unit² + 3 unit²

Area of the shape = 7 unit²
