Question

3) Find the area of the polygon below. Give your answer as a number with no label. Assume your answer is square meters.

Answer 1

The total area equal the rectangle- the two squares
Area of rectangle= base *height
8*4=32m^2

Area of square=side x side
2x2=4m^2
Since there are two squares multiply the answer by 2
4x2=8m^2

Total area=32-8
=24m^2

Answer 2

40 m²

Explanation:

Multiply side by side(2 m):

2×4=8 8+8=16

Multiply the perimeter:

8×2=16 4×2=8

add everything:

16+16+8=40
