Question

Find the square inches

Answer 1

16 in^2

Explanation:

Think of the entire shape as a rectangle above and a square below. The rectangle's length and width are 6 inches and 2 inches. The side of the square is 2 inches.

area of rectangle: Ar = length * width

area of square: As = side^2

total area = Ar + As

total area = 6 in * 2 in + (2 in)^2

total area = 12 in^2 + 4 in^2

total area = 16 in^2

Answer 2

The area of the figure is 16

Explanation:

If you look closely there are four squares inside the figure so you get the area of one square and times it by four for the area of 16.
