Question

6 cm 2 cm 16 cm 14 cm Find the area of the polygon.

Answer 1

we divide the figure on two, find each area and sum

First

find the area

`\begin{gathered} A=b* h \\ A=6*16 \\ A=96 \end{gathered}`

first area is 96 square centimeters

Second

find the area

`\begin{gathered} A=b* h \\ A=8*14 \\ A=112 \end{gathered}`

second area is 112square centimeter

Total area

`\begin{gathered} A=96+112 \\ A=208 \end{gathered}`

Total area is 208square centimeters
