The area of the polygon can be calculated by finding the area of each individual shape and then adding them together.
Area of the vertical base rectangle = 12 * 3 = 36 square units
Area of the horizontal crossbar rectangle = 4 * (12 + 2) = 4 * 14 = 56 square units
Adding these two areas together, we get:
36 + 56 = 92 square units
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed, as none of the provided options are 92 square units.
An illustration shows the outline of letter upper T. The vertical rectangular base of the letter has length 12 and width 3. The horizontal rectangular crossbar at the top has thickness 2. The lower sides of the horizontal crossbar on either side of the vertical base measure 4.
What is the area of the polygon? Assume that segments that appear congruent are congruent and angles that appear to be right angles are right angles.
