Marcus loves baseball and wants to create a home plate for his house. Marcus needs to calculate the area of the home plate at the ball field so he can reconstruct it when he gets home. Calculate the area of the polygon.
A 50 in2
B 59 in2
C 85 in2
D 90 in2

Answer 1

B 59 in.^2

Explanation:

The polygon is made up of three different polygons. Calculate each area, and add them.

1) rectangle 4 in. by 7 in.

2) triangle with 7 in. base and 6 in. height

3) triangle with 4 in. base and 5 in. height

area of rectangle = length * width

area of triangle = base * height / 2

total area =

= 4 in. * 7 in. + 7 in. * 6 in./2 + 4 in. * 5 in./2

= 28 in.^2 + 21 in.^2 + 10 in.^2

= 59 in.^2

Answer 2

Answer: B. 59 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

6*7=42

42/2=21

5*4=20

20/2=10

4*7=28

28+21+10=59
