Find the area of the polygon in square units.
It’s a picture of a L Shape and it has 7 on the top
13 on the side 15 and 7 on there bottom
To find the area of the L-shaped polygon, we need to split it into two rectangles.
First rectangle:
- Length = 13 units
- Width = 7 units
Area of first rectangle = Length x Width
Area of first rectangle = 13 x 7 = 91 square units
Second rectangle:
- Length = 15 units
- Width = 7 units
Area of second rectangle = Length x Width
Area of second rectangle = 15 x 7 = 105 square units
Total area of the L-shaped polygon = Area of first rectangle + Area of second rectangle
Total area = 91 + 105 = 196 square units
Therefore, the area of the L-shaped polygon is 196 square units.
That’s not correct
To find the area of the L-shaped polygon, you can break it down into two rectangles and calculate the area of each separately.
First rectangle:
- Length = 13 units
- Width = 7 units
Area of first rectangle = Length x Width
Area of first rectangle = 13 x 7 = 91 square units
Second rectangle:
- Length = 15 units (bottom side of the L-shape)
- Width = 7 units (vertical side of the L-shape)
Area of second rectangle = Length x Width
Area of second rectangle = 15 x 7 = 105 square units
To find the total area of the L-shaped polygon, we add the areas of the two rectangles:
Total area = Area of first rectangle + Area of second rectangle
Total area = 91 + 105
Total area = 196 square units
Therefore, the total area of the L-shaped polygon is 196 square units.
