Question

Challenge: Find the area of the polygon.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.6 {m}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is length times width.

We divide the polygon into 4 rectangles:

The area of the first rectangle is :

$0.4 \times 0.4 = 0.16 {m}^{2}$

The area of the second rectangle is

$2.4 \times 0.6 = 1.44 {m}^{2}$

The area of the 3rd rectangle is

$1.6 \times 1 = 1.6 {m}^{2}$

The area of the fourth rectangle is

$0.4 \times 1 = 0.4 {m}^{2}$

Putting all together, the area of the polygon is;

0.16+1.44+1.6+0.4=3.6m²
