28 square units
To find the area of the polygon, we need to find the area of the triangle and the rectangle separately, and then add them together.
Area of the triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 8 * 6
Area = 24 square units
Area of the rectangle:
Area = length * width
Area = 4 * 6
Area = 24 square units
Total area = Area of triangle + Area of rectangle
Total area = 24 + 24
Total area = 48 square units
Therefore, the area of the polygon is 48 square units.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows the outline of a rightward facing arrow head. The perpendicular height of the triangular part is 6. The sides of the rectangular part each measure 4. The part of the triangle's base on either side of the rectangular part measures 4.
