Question

6 cm 2 cm 16 cm 14 cm Find the area of the polygon.

Answer 1

we divide the figure on two, find each area and sum

First

find the area

$\begin{gathered} A=b\times h \\ A=6\times16 \\ A=96 \end{gathered}$

first area is 96 square centimeters

Second

find the area

$\begin{gathered} A=b\times h \\ A=8\times14 \\ A=112 \end{gathered}$

second area is 112square centimeter

Total area

$\begin{gathered} A=96+112 \\ A=208 \end{gathered}$

Total area is 208square centimeters
