Answer 1

The answer is 105 units2

Answer 2

Answer:

$42\:units \:square$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the polygon into a rectangle and a triangle as shown in the attachment.

The rectangle has dimensions $l=5$ units and $w=7$ units.

The area of the rectangular portion is

$=5\times 7=35$ square units.

The area of the triangular portion is

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\times base \times height$

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\times 7 \times 2=7$ square units.

Therefore the area of the polygon is $=35+7=42$ square units.
