To find the area of this polygon, we can break it down into smaller shapes and calculate the area of each shape separately.

First, we can see that the polygon can be split into 3 triangles (two of them are right-angled triangles) and 1 parallelogram.

1) The area of the right-angled triangle on the left side can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 * 5 = 10 square units.

2) The area of the right-angled triangle on the right side can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 3 * 4 = 6 square units.

3) The area of the triangle at the top can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 8 * 3 = 12 square units.

4) The area of the parallelogram at the bottom can be calculated as:
Area = base * height = 8 * 2 = 16 square units.

Adding the areas of all these shapes together, we get:
10 + 6 + 12 + 16 = 44 square units.

Therefore, the area of the polygon is 44 square units.

Thank you for the correction.

In this case, the area of the polygon can be calculated as the sum of the areas of the three triangles and the parallelogram.

1) The area of the right-angled triangle on the left side can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 * 5 = 10 square units.

2) The area of the right-angled triangle on the right side can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 3 * 4 = 6 square units.

3) The area of the triangle at the top can be calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 12 * 3 = 18 square units.

4) The area of the parallelogram at the bottom can be calculated as:
Area = base * height = 9 * 2 = 18 square units.

Adding the areas of all these shapes together, we get:
10 + 6 + 18 + 18 = 52 square units.

Therefore, the area of the polygon is 52 square units.

Sure! Let's break the shape into smaller pieces and find the area of each piece:

1. The triangle on the left has a base of 4 units and a height of 5 units.
So, its area = 1/2 x 4 x 5 = 10 square units

2. The triangle on the right has a base of 3 units and a height of 4 units.
So, its area = 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6 square units

3. The triangle on the top has a base of 12 units and a height of 3 units.
So, its area = 1/2 x 12 x 3 = 18 square units

4. The parallelogram at the bottom has a base of 9 units and a height of 2 units.
So, its area = 9 x 2 = 18 square units

Now, add up the areas of all the pieces:
10 + 6 + 18 + 18 = 52 square units

Therefore, the area of the shape is 52 square units.

Thank you for the correction. Let's calculate the area using the corrected dimensions as follows:

1. The triangle on the left side has a base of 4 units and a height of 5 units.
Area = 1/2 x 4 x 5 = 10 square units

2. The triangle on the right side has a base of 3 units and a height of 4 units.
Area = 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6 square units

3. The triangle on the top has a base of 12 units and a height of 3 units.
Area = 1/2 x 12 x 3 = 18 square units

4. The parallelogram at the bottom has a base of 9 units and a height of 2 units.
Area = 9 x 2 = 18 square units

Now, add up the areas of all the pieces:
10 + 6 + 18 + 18 = 52 square units

Therefore, the area of the polygon is 52 square units.
