Question

Find the area of the polygon
A) 64.9ft^2
B) 129.8ft^2
C) 27.9ft^2
D) 33.8ft^2

Answer 1

Hey there,

Key point:
`\boxed{remember \ that \ when \ doing \ area \ ,we \ multiply}`

We would do 22 × 5.9.

And that would give us
`129.8ft^2`

But, if we were to do it like that, that would be considered as doing it as a square, so we divide.


`129.8ft^2` ÷ 2 . . .

And that would give us
`64.9ft^2`.

We have to
`\boxed{divide}` this because
we have to remember that this is not a square, this
is a triangle.

Your correct/clarified answer would be:
`\boxed{ 64.9ft^2}`

Hope this helps.
