Question

Calculate the area of the irregular polygon shown below:

A. 21 square inches
B. 22 square inches
C. 26 square inches
D. 29 square inches

Answer 1

The answer is C. 3×4 = 12. There are two therefore 50-24 = 26.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Calculate the area of the entire rectangle 5 x 10 = 50 square inches.

Subtract the two non-shaded rectangles measuring 3 by 4 which is 3x4 = 12 square inches.

50 - 12 - 12 = 26 square inches.
