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)
____square feet
The area to be painted consists of the rectangle and the triangle.
Area of the rectangle = length x width = 4 x 2 = 8 square feet
Area of the triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 4 x 5 = 10 square feet
Total area to be painted = 8 + 10 = 18 square feet.
