Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the outline of letter upper L. The thickness of the outline is 7, marked at both ends of the letter. The vertical side of the outline, on the right, measures 13 and the upper horizontal side of the outline measures 15.
Find the area of the polygon in square units.

square units
The area of the polygon can be calculated by dividing it into two rectangles.
The first rectangle has dimensions 7 (thickness) x 13 (vertical side), and the area is 7 x 13 = 91 square units.
The second rectangle has dimensions 15 (upper horizontal side) x 7 (thickness), and the area is 15 x 7 = 105 square units.
Therefore, the total area of the polygon is 91 + 105 = 196 square units.
no
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correctly calculate the area of the polygon.
Since the outline of the letter "L" can be considered as a rectangle with a missing smaller rectangle inside it, we can find the area by subtracting the area of the smaller rectangle from the area of the larger rectangle.
The larger rectangle has dimensions 15 x 7 = 105 square units.
The smaller rectangle has dimensions 13 x 7 = 91 square units.
Therefore, the area of the polygon (difference between the two rectangles) is 105 - 91 = 14 square units.
incorrect
I apologize for the error in my previous responses. Let's correctly calculate the area of the polygon.
The shape consists of a large rectangle with dimensions 15 x 7 = 105 square units, and a small rectangle with dimensions 13 x 7 = 91 square units.
To find the area of the polygon, we need to find the difference between the area of the large rectangle and the area of the small rectangle.
Therefore, the area of the polygon is 105 - 91 = 14 square units.
