Question 4 (Essay Worth 10 points) (04.03 MC)
Find the area of the following shape. You must show all work to receive credit.

12 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is an irregular polygon, we can break the figure into simpler shapes and add the areas together.  

For the left triangle, use the formula (b × h)

(2 × 2)

(4) = 2 sq. units

For the top triangle:

(4 × 2)

(8) = 4 sq. units

For the middle rectangle, use the formula b × h

(3 × 2) = 6 sq. units

Now add together all the areas.

2 qu. units + 4 sq. units + 6 sq. units = 12 sq. units

Hope this helps~!

-1/4 > -1 2/3. -1/4 is greater than -1 2/3 because it is closer to 0 on the number line.
