Okay, it's the equation to how find area any other way. A=L×W
This means *picture above*
So then you count over each line meaning 1. This means L=9 and a 1/2. Since its in between the 2 an 3 on the x-axis. Now for W or width. It equals 3 since you can count 2 lines and one either ends of the polygon is 1/2 each this creates one when added together.
All you do from there is multiply 9 and 3. This should give you A=area.
Explanation: there are 10 pumpkin pies and 16 more cherry pies were sold than pumpkin. So 26 (10+16) cherry pies were sold. And 14 more apple were sold than cherry. So 30 (26+14) apple pies were sold.
