Question

What is the area of the polygon?

Answer 1

The answer is 34 m^2

Explanation:

Well, we can divide the Polygon into pieces and solve the area for each piece.

There will be a rectangle and a trapezoid.

Area of Rectangle: Area = Length * Width

Area = Length * Width

Area = 6 m * 3 m = 18 m^2

Area of a Trapezoid: Area =
`(h*(b1+b2))/(2)`

`A=(h*(b1+b2))/(2)\\A=(4*(6+2))/(2)\\A=(4*8)/(2) \\A=(32)/(2) \\A=16 m^2`

Total Area = 16 m^2 + 18 m^2 = 34 m^2
