Answer:
5.5 units for question 1
8.5 units for question 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming each "square" is equal to 1 unit
Question 1.
We can split this shape into four parts
The uppermost part is equal to [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] units
The left bottom part is equal to [tex]2[/tex] units
The right bottom part is equal to [tex]1[/tex] unit
The area is:
[tex]2\frac{1}{2} + 2 + 1 = \\5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
or
[tex]5.5[/tex] units
Question 2.
The part on the far left is equal to [tex]2[/tex] units
The part on the left-center is equal to [tex]3[/tex] units
The part on the right-center is equal to [tex]2.5[/tex] units
The part on the far right is equal to [tex]1[/tex] unit
The area is:
[tex]2 + 3 + 2.5 + 1 = \\8.5[/tex]
[tex]8.5[/tex] units
