Find the area of the shape below

The area is 7

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 7 because we can break the shape into smaller shapes, for example 1 square, 1 rectangle and a triangle. The area of the square is 4 since 2 x 2 (l x w), The area of the rectangle is 2 since 2 x 1 (l x w) and the triangle is 1 because 1/2 x 1 x 2 (1/2 x b x h)

5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 times 2 is 4

half of the 4 is 2

2 times 1  is 2

so you have six the missing spot of the rectangle as an area of 1

so subtract that and you have 5

find the area for the missing triangle using the formula for the area of a triangle

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of
