kamal can add the area of the
rectangle and the area of the triangle shown.
what is the area of the rectangle?
area of rectangle = 12 square units
what is the area of the triangle?
area of triangle = \square square units
area = \frac{1}{2} \cdot base \cdot height

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

From the grid, the triangle has a base of 3 units and a height of 4 units.

Step2: Apply triangle area formula

Substitute values into $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4$

Step3: Calculate the area

Simplify the expression
$\text{Area} = 6$

Answer:

6 square units
