Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the dimension of the polygon is not given.

However, I'll give a general explanation of how to calculate the area of a regular polygon.

If you follow these simple steps, you'll arrive at your answer.

The area of a polygon is calculated as thus;

A = ½(nbh)

Where A represent the area

n represents the number of sides

b represents the length of the base

h represent the height of the polygon

Take for instance, the polygon is a regular pentagon.

This means n = 5.

Also assume that the base and the height are 5cm and 7cm respectively.

This means that

Area = ½ * (5 * 5 * 7)

Area = ½ * 175

Area = 87.5cm²

Hence, the area of the polygon is 87.5cm²
