First symmetrically cut the pentagon to get 5 pieces. (So that you will get the idea that this polygon is divided into 5 triangles)
Then find the area of one of the triangles:
Area of Triangle = 
A =
× 4 × 10
A = 20 m²
To find the area of the whole pentagon shape:
A = 20 × 5 = 100 m²

Answer:
Distribute
When you have an equation like this, distribute first and then add or subtract like terms to solve for x.
Hope this helps!!
You would add 1 to both sides to get the y alone on the right side. Then it would be y = 1+ -1/2 which is y = 1/2. Hope you understand better!
