Answer:

B 59 in.^2

Explanation:

The polygon is made up of three different polygons. Calculate each area, and add them.

1) rectangle 4 in. by 7 in.

2) triangle with 7 in. base and 6 in. height

3) triangle with 4 in. base and 5 in. height

area of rectangle = length * width

area of triangle = base * height / 2

total area =

= 4 in. * 7 in. + 7 in. * 6 in./2 + 4 in. * 5 in./2

= 28 in.^2 + 21 in.^2 + 10 in.^2

= 59 in.^2
