Question

Enter your answer in the box.
units²

Answer 1

The answer is 105 units2

Answer 2

`42\:units \:square`

Explanation:

We can divide the polygon into a rectangle and a triangle as shown in the attachment.

The rectangle has dimensions
`l=5` units and
`w=7` units.

The area of the rectangular portion is

`=5* 7=35` square units.

The area of the triangular portion is

`Area=(1)/(2)* base * height`

`Area=(1)/(2)* 7 * 2=7` square units.

Therefore the area of the polygon is
`=35+7=42` square units.
