Find the area of the shape shown below.

The reference image for the solution is attached below.
The figure is splitted into two shapes.
One shape is square and the other shape is trapezium.
Side length of square = 2 units
Bases of the trapezium = 1 unit and 2 unit
Height of the trapezium = 2 unit
Area of the square = side × side
= 2 × 2
Area of the square = 4 units²
Area of the trapezium = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times \text{sum of the bases }\times \text{height}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times {(1+2)}\times 2[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times {3}\times 2[/tex]
Area of the trapezium = 3 units²
Area of the shape = Area of square + area of trapezium
= 4 units² + 3 units²
= 7 units²
The area of the shape is 7 units².
Answer:
7 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle - Triangle
Rectangle: 4 × 2 = 8
Triangle: ½ × 2 × 1 = 1
Area = 8 - 1 = 7
