The polygon consists of a rectangle and two congruent right triangles. The area of the rectangle is 4 x 6 = 24 square units. The area of each right triangle is 1/2 x base x height, which is 1/2 x 4 x 6 = 12 square units. Therefore, the total area of the polygon is 24 + 12 + 12 = 48 square units.
Answer: 48 square units.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the outline of a rightward facing arrow head. The perpendicular height of the triangular part is 6. The sides of the rectangular part each measure 4. The part of the triangle's base on either side of the rectangular part measures 4.
