Question

If the area of each triangular regions is as shown, what is the area of the polygon?

Answer 1

The required area of the polygon in the given figure = 16 units²

Explanation:

From the given figure :

Area of each triangle is given to be 2 units²

We need to find the area of the polygon

Number of triangles contained in the polygon = 8

Therefore, Area of the polygon = No. of triangle × Area of each triangle

⇒ Area of the polygon = 8 × 2

⇒ Area of the polygon = 16 units²

Hence, the area of the polygon in the given figure = 16 units²

Therefore, The option C. 16 is correct

Answer 2

For this case, what you must do is add the area of each of the triangles to find the total area of the polygon.
We have then:
A = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
A = 16
Equivalently, as the area of each triangle is the same, then:
A = 2 * (8)
A = 16
Answer:
the area of the polygon is:
16
