Answer 1

`3.6 {m}^(2)`

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is length times width.

We divide the polygon into 4 rectangles:

The area of the first rectangle is :

`0.4 * 0.4 = 0.16 {m}^(2)`

The area of the second rectangle is

`2.4 * 0.6 = 1.44 {m}^(2)`

The area of the 3rd rectangle is

`1.6 * 1 = 1.6 {m}^(2)`

The area of the fourth rectangle is

`0.4 * 1 = 0.4 {m}^(2)`

Putting all together, the area of the polygon is;

0.16+1.44+1.6+0.4=3.6m²
