Answer:
E. (20 × 9) - (3 × 2)
Explanation:
The area of the shape can be calculated by using the expression in the following options:
A.
C.
D.
E.
I will give some examples for how we know these options are goving the area:
For option E;
We can draw a smaller polygon to complete the shape.
Then we can multiply height and width of the bigger shape and subtract the area of the smaller poligon (the red rectangle) from the area of the bigger poligon.
For option A;
It has same logic with option E, just missing the step, where it calculates the value of smaller polygon.
