Answer:
45units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Break the polygon into two shapes. A rectangle and a triangle.
The area formula for a rectangle is A=L•W or
Area = Length x Width. Counting the units for length and width is 9 x 2. Which would equal 18units.
Now for the triangle, the formula is A=1/2 (b•h)
The base is 9 and Height is 6.
9 • 6 = 54
Since a triangle is half the area of a rectangle you divide 54 by 2. Area for triangle is 27.
Now add the rectangle area and triangle area.
18+27=45
Area=45 units ^2
