To find the area of the polygon, we can calculate the area of each individual shape within the outline of the letter H.
Area of the upper rectangle: 12 * 5 = 60 square units
Area of the lower rectangle: 12 * 6 = 72 square units
Area of the middle part: 5 * 3 = 15 square units
Total area = 60 + 72 + 15 = 147 square units
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the multiple choice options. The closest option is 77 square units, but the correct answer is actually 147 square units.
