This question is incomplete. The attached image was obtained online
Answer:
41 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at diagram that was attached, we can see that the Polygon s the combination of a square and a triangle.
In square CDEF we have:
The lengths of the side of the square= 4 units
Hence, the area of square is: length ²
Area of square= 4²
=16 square units
Also, in ΔBFA we have:
The base of the triangle is calculated as
=6 + 4= 10 units
height of the triangle is: FA= 5 units
The formula for Area of a triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height
Hence, we have area of ΔBFA as:
= 1/2 × 10 × 5
Area= 25 square units
The Area of the Polygon = Area of the square + Area of the triangle
16 square units + 25 square units
= 41 square units
