Answer:
8 squared units

Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle:
To find the area of the rectangle, we need to mutiply the base and the height. 3 units(base) x 2 units(height) = 6 squared units
Triangle:
To find the area of the triangle is very similar to finding the area of the rectangle. We need to multiply the base and the height and divide it by 2.
Base= 2 units(since it is a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length)
Height = 2 units
Next, we plug it in to this formula: 1/2 bh (b = base and h = height)
multiplying by one half is the same as dividing by 2
The area of the triangle is 2 x 2 = 4
4 divided by 2 = 2 squared units
For the final step, we add the areas together. (6+2 = 8) the label is very important (squared units)
