The area of the city in square miles is 10 square miles.
To calculate the area, you can split the shape into two rectangles: one with dimensions 4 miles by 2 miles and the other with dimensions 6 miles by 2 miles.
Area = (4 x 2) + (6 x 2) = 8 + 12 = 20 square miles.
Therefore, the area of the city is 20 square miles.
Use the image to answer the question.
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.
