Answer:
25 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the full squares count for 1 units^2 of the area, and each of the half-squares(triangles) count for (1/2) units^2 of area. So, you can go step by step for every row in the figure:
Row 1: 2 * (1/2) = 1 units^2
Row 2: 8 * (1) = 8 units^2
Row 3: 6 * (1) + 2 * (1/2) = 6 + 1 = 7 units^2
Row 4: 4 * (1) + 2 * (1/2) = 4 + 1 = 5 units^2
Row 5: 2 * (1) + 2 * (1/2) = 2 + 1 = 3 units^2
Row 6: 2 * (1/2) = 1 units^2
Add all of these areas up, and you get your answer:
1 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 25 units^2
