Find the area of the shape shown below plsss hurry I only have limited time

32

Step-by-step explanation: so we can start by finding the two small ones at the bottom. so 2 times 2 is 4/2 is 2, 2 times 6 is 12/2 is 6. then we have a square in the middle that is 2 times 2 is 4. then to find the rest, we can add the 2, the 6, and because we know the bottom middle shape is a square, another two, so we end up with a line of 10 unites. then we can do 4 times 10 is 40/2 is 20. then we add all of our answers. so 20 plus 2 plus 4 plus 6 which is 32.

32

Step-by-step explanation:

4*10 = 40/2 = 20

2*2 = 4/2= 2

2*2=4

6*2 = 12/2= 6

20+2+4+6 = 32

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
