Question

Find the area of the polygon below.

Answer 1

Answer: 810m²

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split this shape into a triangle and a parallelogram (square)

Then find the area of the parallelogram by multiplying its base (18) times its height (18)

so 18 times 18 equals 324.

Then you find the area of the triangle which is base times its height divided by two.

So to find its base you have to add 9+9+18 which equals 36.

Now multiply the base (36) times its height (27), and then divide it by 2

36 times 27 equals 972 divided by 2 equals 486.

now that you found out the area for the parallelogram (324) and the triangle (486) add them together.

324+486= 810m²

I hope this helped you!
