Answer:
234 square millimeters
Explanation:
You want the area of the irregular polygon shown.
Composition
There are always several ways you can find the area of a figure like this. In the attachment we have shown extensions of the vertical and horizontal lines that will divide the figure into a triangle and two rectangles.
Triangle area
The triangle has a base of 12 mm and a height of 13 mm. Its area is ...
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(12 mm)(13 mm) = 78 mm²
Rectangle area
The upper rectangle has a width of 8 mm and a length of 14 mm. Its area is ...
A = LW
A = (14 mm)(8 mm) = 112 mm²
The lower rectangle has a width of 4 mm and a length of 11 mm. Its area is ...
A = (4 mm)(11 mm) = 44 mm²
Total area
The area of the figure is the sum of the areas of its parts:
total area = triangle area + upper rectangle + lower rectangle
total area = 78 mm² + 112 mm² + 44 mm² = 234 mm²
The area of the figure is 234 square millimeters.
