Question

Find the area of the following polygons:

Answer 1

Area of ABCE:
12 x 4
= 48cm squared

Area of CDE:
To get the height of the triangle, you subtract 4 from 10.

10 - 4 = 6cm
Base = 12 cm

12 x 6 = 72cm

72 divided by 2
= 36cm squared.

48 + 36 = 84cm squared.

(if it’s asking individual areas, then it’s 48cm and 36cm)

Answer 2

Answer:

84 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon is composed of a rectangle and a triangle.

area of rectangle = 12 × 4 = 48 m²

area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 12 × (10 - 4) = 6 ×6 = 36 m²

Total area = 48 + 36 = 84 m²
