Pentagon with square measuring 8 inches by 5 inches and two triangles with heights of 7 inches and 6 inches.

72.5 in2
75.5 in2
83 in2
96 in2

Answer 1

Answer: 83 inch²

Explanation:

First find the area of the rectangle:

= Length * Width

= 8 * 5

= 40 inch²

Then find the area of the first traingle:

= 1/2 * base * height

= 1/2 * ( 4 + 4) * 7

= 28 inch²

Then the second triangle:

= 1/2 * base * height

= 1/2 * (2.5 + 2.5) * 6

= 15 inch²

The area of the polygon is the sum of all these:

= 40 + 28 + 15

= 83 inch²
