To find the area of the figure, we need to find the area of the larger polygon and subtract the area of the missing rectangular piece.
The area of the larger polygon can be found by multiplying the dimensions of the sides.
Area of larger polygon = 6 * 8 = 48 square units
The missing rectangular piece has a width of 2 and a height of 6, so its area is:
Area of missing rectangular piece = 2 * 6 = 12 square units
Therefore, the area of the figure (polygon minus missing rectangular piece) is:
48 - 12 = 36 square units.
The correct answer is 36 square units.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a polygon where the top, right, and bottom sides are perpendicular to each other. A smaller rectangular piece is missing from the center of the left side of the polygon inward. The dimensions are as follows: the top side is 6, the right side is 8, and the bottom side is 6. The left side is divided into three parts. It shows a vertical width of 2 from the top
Solve the following problem using what you know about composite figures. What is the area of the figure?
