To resolve the proposed issue, an explanation is needed in which the subject is addressed

Answer 2

13 square units

Explanation:

Look at image attached

Divide shape into two rectangles

Rectangle 1:

width: 2 units

length: 5 - 1 = 4 units

AREA: 2 x 4 = 8 sq. units

Rectangle 2:

width: 1 units

length: 5 units

AREA: 1 x 5 = 5 sq. Units

Combine area of rectangles:

8 + 5 = 13 sq. Units

That is the area of the whole polygon.
