For this case, what you must do is add the area of each of the triangles to find the total area of the polygon.
We have then:
A = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
A = 16
Equivalently, as the area of each triangle is the same, then:
A = 2 * (8)
A = 16
Answer:
the area of the polygon is:
16
Option 3
Answer:
The total area of the field is 343 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ There are 7 workers hired to seed a field by hand
∵ Each is given a plot 7 x 7 feet in size
→ The plot has shaped a square because its two dimensions equal
∴ The side of the plot = 7 feet
∵ The area of the square = side × side
∴ The area of each plot = 7 × 7
∴ The area of each plot = 49 square feet
→ To find the total area multiply the area of 1 plot by the number
of the workers
∵ The total area = 49 × 7
∴ The total area = 343 square feet
∴ The total area of the field is 343 square feet
