The area of the polygon is:

A = 2 × 12 + 14(12+2) + 3(12 + 2 + 3)

A = 2 × 12 + 14 × 14 + 3 × 17

A = 24 + 196 + 51

A = 220 + 51

A = 271 cm²

Answer:

B. 271 square units

Explanation:

The area is the sum of 3 rectangles areas

step 1 12 * 19 = 228

step 2 3 * 3 = 9

step 3 2 * 17 = 34

Now, we add all the answers we got to get the area.

= 228 + 34 + 9 = 271 square units
