Question

Calculate the area of the irregular polygon shown below:

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the irregular polygon is $24$ square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the irregular polygon shown, is equal to the area of the whole rectangle minus the two empty rectangular spaces

so

$A=(7*12)-2*(6*5)\\ \\A=84-60\\ \\A=24\ in^{2}$

Answer 2

24 square inches. do the area of the whole rectangle (7x12) and subtract the two little rectangles (5X6) x 2= 60 so 84-60=24
