Why is there a b) in the middle of the polygon? Question creators, proofread your figures.
a) Two triangles and a kite
Top triangle (1/2)(5.53)(1.5)
Bottom triangle (1/2)(6)(2)
The kite is like two triangles with shared base 2+3=5 and combined height 7,
(1/2)(5)(7)
Adding it up,
area = (1/2)(5.53)(1.5) + (1/2)(6)(2) + (1/2)(5)(7) = 27.6475
Answer: 27.6475 sq cm
b) Three triangles, including one right triangle
Area = (1/2) (6.7)(3) + (1/2)(6.2)(2.5) + 1/2(6.2)(2) = 24.
Answer: 24 sq cm
