Question

What is the area of this polygon?????? Pls

Answer 1

We can split this figure into two shapes;

A triangle, and a rectangle.

If we split the figure from 'V' to 'R', it will formulate the two shapes I mentioned.

First, we must know the formula for the area of a triangle -

A = BH x 1/2

Where B represents the base, and H serves as the height.

For the triangle, the height is 3, and the base is 6.

So we plug in these values into our formula:

A = BH

A = 6(3) x 1/2

A = 18 x 1/2

A = 18/2

A = 9

Now the formula for the area of a rectangle:

A = LW

Where L displays as the length, and W illustrates the width.

Our width of the following rectangle is 6, while our length is 5.

Plug in our values into the formula:

A = LW

A = 5(6)

A = 30

Now, we add our areas;

9 + 30 = 39 square units, is our answer.

Answer 2

39

Explanation:

Draw a line from V to R. That gives you a triangle MVR

The height of the triangle = 3

The base of the triangle = 6

Area Triangle = 1/2 * 3 * 6 = 9

The figure left over is a rectangle

Area = VR * VE

VR = 6

VE = 5

Area = 6*5 = 30

Total area = 39
