Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer:
8 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
What you have is a square with two triangles. We will break them apart, calculate the area and then add them together.
Square: A = l · w
2 · 2 = 4 un²
Triangle: A = (b · h) ÷ 2
(2 · 2) ÷ 2 = 2 un²
4 un² + 2 un² + 2 un²
8 un²
