Actually, the answer is not A, if you're saying A is the first choice above. That's incorrect. You will need to use the Geometric mean for right triangles here to figure out what the value of a is. We will use this form: 
. We have a value for YZ of 3; side a is XZ. That means in order to solve this we need WZ, which we can find using pythagorean's theorem. 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 and 9 + 16 = c^2 and c = 5. Now we fill in accordingly: 
. Cross-multiply to get 3XZ=25 and side XZ is 
. XZ is 25/3 and YZ is 3, so 25/3 - 3 = XY. That means that XY (side a) = 16/3 or 5 1/3, choice B, or the second one down.
Answer:
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about</h3>- area of triangles
- area of rectangle
- PEMDAS
- rectangle opposite sides are equal
- area of rectangle:l×w
- area of triangle:½×h×b
the area of the rectangle is
4×7 in²
28 in²
the area of above triangle is
½×6×7 in²
3×7 in²
21 in²
the area of left side triangle is
½×5×4 in²
2×5 in²
10 in²
therefore,
the area of the polygon is
28+21+10 in²
<h3>59 in²</h3>
