We can separate the arrow into 2 shapes, a triangle at the top and rectangle at the bottom
To find the base of the triangle we need to add 2+10+2, which is 14. Now we need the height of the triangle, which is 24-17 = 7
The formula for the area of a triangle is \(\frac{bh}{2}\). If the base is 14 and the height is 7, we get A = 49
Now we need the area of the rectangle.
The problem already gave the length and width, 17 and 10.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is \(l(w)\)
Multiplying 17 and 10 together, we get 170.
Now we need to add 49 and 170 to get the area of the whole figure.
49+170 = 219
So the answer is 219 units squared
