The area of the polygon can be calculated by finding the area of the rectangle formed by two of the legs and then subtracting the area of the triangle formed by the other two legs.
Area of the rectangle = 7 * 5 = 35 square units
Area of the triangle = (1/2) * 7 * 5 = 17.5 square units
Total area = 35 - 17.5 = 17.5 square units
Therefore, the correct answer is 76 square units.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the outline of letter X. The length of each of the four legs is 7, and the width of each is 5.
What is the area of the polygon? Assume that segments that appear congruent are congruent.
