To find the area of the polygon, we need to calculate the area of each individual shape and then add them together.
The area of the upper rectangle is 12 x 5 = 60 square units.
The area of the lower rectangle is 12 x 6 = 72 square units.
The area of the middle rectangle is 3 x 5 = 15 square units.
Adding all the areas together: 60 + 72 + 15 = 147 square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options given.
it is provided in the options given its just that u DIDNT solve it right..
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's recalculate the area of the polygon.
The area of the upper rectangle is 12 x 5 = 60 square units.
The area of the lower rectangle is 12 x 6 = 72 square units.
The area of the middle rectangle is 3 x 5 = 15 square units.
Adding all the areas together: 60 + 72 + 15 = 147 square units.
Therefore, the correct area of the polygon is not listed in the given options.
