A city nap is shown what is the area of the city in square miles the map shows 2 miles at the base 2 miles on the side another 2 miles on the side 4 miles on one side and 4 miles at the top. What is the area of the city in square miles.

Answer 1

To find the area of the city, we need to calculate the area of each individual shape within the city and then add them together.

1. The base: 2 miles x 2 miles = 4 square miles
2. The two sides: 2 miles x 2 miles = 4 square miles
3. The other side: 4 miles x 2 miles = 8 square miles
4. The top: 4 miles x 4 miles = 16 square miles

Now, add all these areas together:
4 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 32 square miles

Therefore, the area of the city in square miles is 32 square miles.
