find the area of the polygon 11 inches on top 8.1 inches on the right 15 inches on the bottom and 7 inches on the left
To find the area of the polygon, we need to divide it into smaller shapes and calculate the area of each shape.
The given polygon can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle.
The rectangle has dimensions:
Width = 11 inches
Height = 8.1 inches
Area of rectangle = Width x Height = 11 inches x 8.1 inches = 89.1 square inches
The triangle has a base of 15 inches and a height of 8.1 inches.
Area of triangle = 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 15 inches x 8.1 inches = 60.75 square inches
Therefore, the total area of the polygon is:
89.1 square inches (rectangle) + 60.75 square inches (triangle) = 149.85 square inches
So, the area of the given polygon is 149.85 square inches.
