Question

What is the area of the polygon below?

Answer 1

• 65 units²

Explanation:

The polygon is the combination of two rectangles.

Sides of the greater rectangle:

• 3 - (-8) = 11 and
• -2 - (-7) = 5

Sides of the smaller rectangle:

• 0 - (-5) = 5 and
• -7 - (-9) = 2

Area of the polygon:

• 11*5 + 5*2 = 65 units²
