+1009 A polygon is shown:
The area of polygon MNOPQR = Area of a rectangle that is 12 square units + Area of a rectangle that is ___ square units. (Input whole numbers only, such as 8.)
+129849 OK...that's better, Nickolas !!!
Note that if extended PO to meet MR, at a point E .....we would create two rectangles
The top rectangle MNOE has a base of 4 units and a height of 2 units...so...its area = 4 * 2 = 8
The bottom rectangle PERQ has a base of 7 units and a height of (3 - 2) = 1 unit
So..its area = 7 * 1 = 7
So... the total area = 7 + 8 = 15
Does this make sense ???
