Answer:
41 square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways you can compute the area of this polygon. We have elected to divide it into a rectangle and a triangle.
The rectangle has dimensions 8 × 4.5, so area ...
A = LW = 8 × 4.5 = 36 . . . . . square miles
The triangle has height 2.5 and base 4, so area ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(4)(2.5) = 5 . . . . . square miles
Then the total area is the sum of these:
36 + 5 = 41 . . . . . square miles
