Figure A contains 6 whole boxes plus 4 half-boxes, for a total of 8. Figure B contains 8 whole boxes. The answer is choice (C). Alternatively, the area of the right triangle in Figure A is 1/2 *bh= 1/2 * 4*4=8 and Figure B contains a rectangle plus two units whose total area is bh = (3)(2) = 6; 6 + 2 = 8.
