Question

What is the area of the polygon

Answer 1

Split this figure into 3 shapes: 2 triangles and 1 trapezoid

Area of top triangle = 1/2(7)(2) = 7 square units
Area of bottom triangle = 1/2(3)(7) = 10.5 square units
Area of trapezoid = 1/2(3 + 6)(4) = 18 square units

Area of the polygon = 7 + 10.5 + 18 = 35.5 square units

Answer 2

Look at the picture.
$A_I=\dfrac{7\cdot2}{2}=7\\\\A_{II}=\dfrac{4\cdot3}{2}=6\\\\A_{III}=\dfrac{7\cdot3}{2}=10.5\\\\A_{IV}=3\cdot4=12\\\\The\ area\ of\ the\ polygon\\\\A=A_I+A_{II}+A_{III}+A_{IV}\\\\A=7+6+10.5+12=35.5\ un^2$
