The amount of area that will be painted can be calculated by dividing the arrow into simpler shapes and summing their areas.
First, we can divide the arrow into a rectangle and a right triangle.
The area of the rectangle is (2 ft) x (2 ft) = 4 square feet.
The area of the right triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 2 ft x 2 ft = 2 square feet.
Therefore, the total amount of area that will be painted is 4 square feet + 2 square feet = 6 square feet.
The closest answer choice is 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? ( 2, 2, 4, 5.)
