The area of the polygon can be calculated by breaking it down into two rectangles and one triangle.
The rectangle on the left side has a length of 7 and a width of 13, so its area is 7 * 13 = 91 square units.
The rectangle on the top side has a length of 15 and a width of 7, so its area is 15 * 7 = 105 square units.
The triangle on the top right side has a base of 15 and a height of 7, so its area is 0.5 * base * height = 0.5 * 15 * 7 = 52.5 square units.
Therefore, the total area of the polygon is 91 + 105 + 52.5 = 248.5 square units.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the outline of letter upper L. The thickness of the outline is 7, marked at both ends of the letter. The vertical side of the outline, on the right, measures 13 and the upper horizontal side of the outline measures 15.
