What is the area of polygon. Find the area by composing a rectangle. Shaped like a big E. Top and bottom labeled 16. Height is 22. Middle of the arms of E is 5 height and 10 length. Tips are 4
To find the area of the polygon shaped like a big E, we can compose it into a rectangle and two triangles.
The rectangle's dimensions are 16 (top and bottom) by 22 (height), so its area is 16 * 22 = 352.
The two triangles are mirror images of each other, so their combined area is 2 * (0.5 * 5 * 10) = 50.
Adding the area of the rectangle and the two triangles gives us the total area:
352 + 50 = 402.
Therefore, the area of the polygon is 402 square units.
