The area of this figure is ____ sq. meters.

Answer 1

The figure appears to be an irregular polygon.

For us to be able to determine its area, we will be cutting the figure into three parts.

We get,

Figure A: 4 m x 7 m

Figure B: 4 m x 7 m

Figure C: 10 m x 5 m

Let's now determine the area:

`\text{ Area = Area of A + Area of B + Area of C}`
`\text{ = (4 x 7) + (4 x 7) + (10 x 5)}`
`\text{ = 28 + 28 + 50}`
`\text{ Area = 106 m}^2`

Therefore, the area of the figure is 106 m²
