The area of the polygon can be calculated by finding the area of each individual rectangle and adding them together.
Each leg of the letter X consists of a rectangle with a length of 7 units and a width of 5 units. Since there are 4 legs, the total area of the polygon can be calculated as:
Area = 4 * (length * width) = 4 * (7 * 5) = 4 * 35 = 140 square units
Therefore, the area of the polygon 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.
What is the area of the polygon? Assume that segments that appear congruent are congruent.
