Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows an outline of a right arrow consisting of a rectangle and a triangular head to its right. The length of the rectangle is 4 and the width is 2. The right width of the triangle does not show a line. It forms the central part of the verticle base of the triangle. The other parts of the base are labeled 2 on the top and bottom each. The perpendicular height from the base to the top vertex of the triangle is labeled as 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?
The area of the rectangle is 4 x 2 = 8 square feet.
The area of the triangle is 1/2 x base x height. The base is 2 + 2 = 4 (since the right width of the triangle is not shown). The height is 5.
So, the area of the triangle is 1/2 x 4 x 5 = 10 square feet.
Therefore, the total area that will be painted is 8 + 10 = 18 square feet.
