The area of the polygon can be found by calculating the area of each leg of the X and then adding them together.
Each leg of the X forms a rectangle with dimensions 7 by 5. The area of each leg is 7 * 5 = 35 square units.
Since there are four legs, the total area of the polygon is 4 * 35 = 140 square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is 140 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.
