- Find the area of the polygon

208 cm ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the polygon into two rectangles to make solving for the area easier.

The first rectangle, on the left, has a width of 16 centimeters and a length of 6 centimeters.

The second rectangle, on the right, needs a few calculations in order to receive the dimensions.

The length of the entire polygon is given as 14 centimeters, and the length of the first rectangle is 6 centimeters. 14 - 6 is 8, so the length of the second rectangle is 8 centimeters long.

The width of the entire polygon is 16 centimeters, and there is a 2-centimeter portion cut out of the polygon to form the second rectangle. 16 - 2 = 14, so the width of the second rectangle is 14 centimeters wide.

Dimensions of first rectangle: 16 x 6

Dimensions of second rectangle: 14 x 8

16 * 6 is 96, and 14 * 8 is 112.

Add the areas together to receive the total area of the polygon:

96 + 112 = 208 cm ^ 2

3 is greater then both of those numbers

answer: 486in^2
