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?
(1 point)
To find the total area of the arrow that will be painted, we need to find the area of both the rectangle and the triangle, and then add them together.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 4 x 2 = 8 square feet
Area of triangle = 0.5 x base x height
Area of triangle = 0.5 x 2 x 5 = 5 square feet
Total area painted = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
Total area painted = 8 + 5 = 13 square feet
Therefore, the amount of area that will be painted on the arrow is 13 square feet.
