Answer:
(d) A = 18 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Line CE can be considered to be the base of two triangles. It is 6 units long. The upper triangle is 4 units high, and the lower triangle is 2 units high. The formula for the area of a triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
Then the sum of the areas of the two triangles is ...
A = 1/2(6)(4) +1/2(6)(2) = 12 +6 = 18
The area of the polygon is 18 square units.
When you're looking for the changes between the two, it is best to simply look for the differences. In this case, the first equation has a positive 4 included, whereas, the second doesn't. When you've got a positive number, you always subtract it away from the otherside, as you always do the opposite to what the operation is.This is the equation solved.
