Given : Bev has to cut her grandma's grass this weekend

Six-sided polygon that includes two isosceles right triangles, one with height and base of 15 feet, the other height and base of 4 feet, and one rectangle measuring 25 feet by 4 feet.

To Find : Area of Polygon

Solution:

Area of triangle = (1/2) bh

= (1/2) * 15 * 15

= 112.5 sq feet

= (1/2) * 4 * 4

= 8 sq feet

Area of rectangle = 25 x 4 = 100 sq feet

Total area =112.5 + 8 + 100

= 220.5 sq feet

Area of Polygon = 220.5 sq feet
