Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows an outline of a right arrow consisting of a rectangle and a triangular head to its right. The length of the rectangle is 4 and the width is 2. The right width of the triangle does not show a line. It forms the central part of the verticle base of the triangle. The other parts of the base are labeled 2 on the top and bottom each. The perpendicular height from the base to the top vertex of the triangle is labeled as 5.
An artist is planning to paint an arrow using the pattern shown. What is the amount of area in square feet that will be painted?

To calculate the total area that will be painted, we need to find the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle separately, and then add them together.
Area of rectangle = length x width = 4 x 2 = 8 square feet
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 2 x 5 = 5 square feet
Total area = 8 (rectangle) + 5 (triangle) = 13 square feet
Therefore, the artist will paint 13 square feet in total.
