A) The figure decomposes nicely into 1 rectangle and 2 triangles.
B) AB = 4 units; AE = 5 units.
C) The rectangle whose diagonal is BE has area 4*5 = 20 units^2.
.. The triangle CDE has area (1/2)*7*1 = 7/2 units^2.
.. The triangle BCF has area (1/2)*3*5 = 15/2 units^2.
The total area of the figure is
.. area = rectangle + triangle CDE + triangle BCF
.. = (20 +7/2 +15/2) units^2
.. = 31 units^2
_____
Check:
.. Compare our computed value of area to that listed for poly1 on the left side of the figure.
