Question

Calculate the area of the irregular polygon shown below:

24 square inches
44 square inches
54 square inches
84 square inches

Answer 1

With this, it matters about what isn't there.

It looks like this shape would be a perfect square, with rectangles cut out of it.

So, 12*7=84

Now, cut rectangles out of it.

There are two rectangles with the same dimensions.

6*5=30

There are two of them, so 30*2=60

Now, subtract.

84-60=24

Area is 24 square inches
