Question

Find the area of the shaded polygons:

Answer 1

Answer:

10

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Purple: This makes two trapezoids. A=(a+b)/2 times h

1st = (4+1)/2 x 1 = 2.5  

2nd = (4+1)/2 x 3 = 5/2 x 3 = 2.5x3=7.5

Total = 2.5+7.5=10

Green: if you draw a line down the center, you can divide these into two more manageable triangles. A=1/2bh

1st = 1/2x2x2 = 2

2nd = 1/2x2x2 = 2

Total = 2+2=4
