To calculate the area of the city, we need to divide the city into shapes with known measurements.
The city can be divided into two rectangles and a triangle.
The first rectangle has dimensions 4 miles by 2 miles, which gives an area of 4 x 2 = 8 square miles.
The second rectangle has dimensions 2 miles by the unknown horizontal line length. Since the horizontal line length is not given, we cannot calculate the area of this rectangle.
The triangle has a base of 2 miles and a height of the unknown horizontal line length. Since the horizontal line length is not given, we cannot calculate the area of this triangle.
Therefore, the total area of the city is 8 square miles.
A composite shape is drawn. The vertical width on the left side from top to bottom shows no measurement. The shape is drawn with straight lines and right angles. A horizontal line marked 4 miles is drawn from the upper left corner. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down from the the top horizontal line. A horizontal line marked 2 miles continues to the right. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down to become the right edge of the shape. A horizontal line of unknown length is drawn leftward. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down to the base. A baseline marked 2 miles meets the width side to form the lower left corner.
