The area is 32 but not sure

Answer 2

Hi!

We can divide this shape into 2 smaller shapes, a triangle and a rectangle.

To solve the rectangle, you multiply b*h, or 3*7. The base is 21 units squared.

To solve the triangle, you use the formula 1/2b*h, or 1/2 7*3. The area of your triangle is 10.5 units squared.

To find the total area of this polygon, you add the areas of the smaller shapes together in order to get your answer.

10.5+21= 31.5 units squared.

Your answer is 31.5 units squared.
