The image shows a polygon that looks like a rectangle with a triangle attached to the bottom right side of it. The polygon has 5 sides. The top side is 6 inches long. The left side is perpendicular to the top side and is 13 inches long. The right side is perpendicular to the top side also and is 7 inches long. A side at the bottom is perpendicular to the 7-inch side and is 3 inches long. It looks like it stops almost midway across the bottom. The last segment is slanted and connects the 3-inch segment to the left side. This slanted side is not labeled.

Answer 1

Answer:

87 square inches  

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The area of the composite figure is equal to the area of a rectangle plus the area of a triangle

so

$A=(13)(6)+\frac{1}{2}(3)(13-7)\\A=78+9=87\ in^2$
