Area = 1/2 * base * height

Area = 1/2 * 13 * 15 = 97.5 square units

Therefore, the area of the polygon is 97.5 square units.

To find the area of the polygon outlined in the shape of an upper L, we can split it into two rectangles.

The left rectangle has dimensions:
- Width: 7
- Height: 13

The right rectangle has dimensions:
- Width: 8 (15-7)
- Height: 7

Calculating the area of each rectangle:
Left rectangle area: 7 * 13 = 91
Right rectangle area: 8 * 7 = 56

Total area of the polygon = Area of left rectangle + Area of right rectangle
Total area = 91 + 56 = 147 square units

Therefore, the area of the polygon in square units is 147.

My apologies for the mistake. Let's try solving the problem differently:

The polygon outlined in the shape of an upper L can be divided into a square and a rectangle.

The square has sides of length 7 units.

The rectangle has dimensions:
- Width: 15 units
- Height: 7 units

Calculating the area of the square:
Area = side * side = 7 * 7 = 49 square units

Calculating the area of the rectangle:
Area = width * height = 15 * 7 = 105 square units

Total area of the polygon = Area of square + Area of rectangle
Total area = 49 + 105 = 154 square units

Therefore, the area of the polygon in square units is 154.

Apologies for the errors in my previous responses. Let's try to solve it correctly this time.

To find the area of the polygon in the shape of an upper L, we first need to find the area of the entire rectangle that the letter L would make if it was completed.

The rectangle would have dimensions 15 (width) by 13 (height), so its area would be:
Area of rectangle = 15 * 13 = 195 square units.

Next, we need to subtract the area of the triangle that is outside the outline of the letter L. This triangle would have a base of 8 units (15-7) and a height of 7 units. Its area is:
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 8 * 7 = 28 square units.

Now, we can find the area of the polygon by subtracting the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle:
Area of polygon = Area of rectangle - Area of triangle
Area of polygon = 195 - 28 = 167 square units.

Therefore, the area of the polygon in square units is 167.
