Answer: 8 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Split apart the figure into two sets, starting from the y value of 2. The part of the shape in Quadrant one has a area of 2, and the same on the other side giving us a area of 4.
Under it, we have 2 other halves of a unit, meaning we now have 1 unit, and adding the other three we have 4 units, giving us a total of 8 units.
