Find The Area Of The Polygon Pls class=

Sagot :

Given:

The figure of a polygon.

To find:

The area of the polygon.

Solution:

Area of a triangle is

[tex]Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height[/tex]

Area of trapezoid is

[tex]Area=\dfrac{1}{2}(a+b)h[/tex]

Where, a, b are bases and h is the height.

The area of the triangle with base 6 cm and height 8 cm is

[tex]A_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\times 8[/tex]

[tex]A_1=24[/tex]

Height of the trapezoid is [tex]13-8=5\ \text{cm}[/tex] and the bases are 6 cm, 12 cm. So, the area of the trapezoid is

[tex]A_2=\dfrac{1}{2}(6+12)(5)[/tex]

[tex]A_2=\dfrac{1}{2}(18)(5)[/tex]

[tex]A_2=(9)(5)[/tex]

[tex]A_2=45[/tex]

Now, the total area of the polygon is

[tex]A=A_1+A_2[/tex]

[tex]A=24+45[/tex]

[tex]A=69[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the polygon is 69 sq. cm.
