Find the area of the missing piece of the polygon and explain your process for finding it:
1 answer:
Answer:
The area of the polygon is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
A polygon is a shape that has three or more sides. They are named with respect to the number of their sides. Example, an octagon has 8 sides, hexagon has 6 sides etc.
From the given figure, the area of the shaded polygon can be calculated by;
Area of polygon = Area of square - Sum of areas given
Sum of areas given = 24 + 30 + 48
= 102
The four sides of the figure are equal, thus it is a square. The length of each side is 12 cm, so that:
Area of square = length × width
= 12 × 12
= 144
Area of polygon = 144 - 102
= 42
The area of the polygon is 42.

Step 1: This is a right triangle with two equal sides so it must be a 45°-45°-90° triangle. Step 2: You are given that the both the sides are 3. If the first and second value of the ratio x:x:x√2 is 3 then the length of the third side is 3√2. Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 3√2 inches.
