Question

The area of the rectangle is 49 square units.

The area of triangle 1 is 7 square units.
The area of triangle 2 is 14 square units.

What is the area of the polygon?

Answer 1

`\boxed{70 \ \text{units}^(2)}`

Explanation:

I assume that the polygon is made up of a rectangle and two triangles. Thus, the area of the polygon is the area of the triangles and the rectangle.

`\text{Area of polygon} = \text{Area of rectangle} + \text{Area of triangle}_(1) } + \text{Area of triangle}_(2)`

➡
`\text{Area of polygon}= 49 + 7 + 14`

➡
`{\bold{Area \ of\ polygon = 49 + 21 = \underline{70 \ units}^(2)}`
