Hello!

This shape is a "Strange" shape, but if you look closer at it, you can see that it can be divided into "normal shapes" like rectangles and squares

On the bottom on the "polygon" we can dived it into 2 squares

One square would have the dimensions of 6 and 6

The other one would have 4 and 6

The formula of area is: Base*Height

So the first square would have an area of 36

The second square would have an area of 24

Now we solve for the big rectangle

On first thought, it may seem like the dimensions are 16 and 25, but it is actually 10 and 25. Because 16 is the whole height of the polygon.

So we subtract it by 6

So the big rectangle is 250

=================

Now we add the areas together to get a total result of 310

If you have questions, feel free to ask
