Use the image to answer the question. What is the area of the polygon? Assume that segments that appear congruent are congruent and angles that appear to be right angles are right angles. (1 point) Responses 58 square units 58 square units 64 square units 64 square units 52 square units 50 square units
To find the area of the polygon, we can divide it into a triangle and a rectangle.
The triangle has a base of 8 units and height of 6 units, so the area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 8 x 6 = 24 square units.
The rectangle has a length of 8 units and width of 4 units, so the area of the rectangle is length x width = 8 x 4 = 32 square units.
Therefore, the total area of the polygon is 24 + 32 = 56 square units.
So, the closest answer choice is 58 square units.
