Answer :

The area of the polygon is 43.5 untis².

Option A is the correct answer.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape where the length and width are different.

The area of a rectangle is given as:

Area = Length x width

We have,

The polygon has five shapes as shown below.

Three triangles, one square, and one rectangle.

We will count the units as the measure of each length.

Now,

Triangle:

Area = 1/2 x base x height

1 triangle area =1/2 x 3 x 2 = 3 units²

2 triangle area = 1/2 x 5 x 1 = 5/2 units²

3 triangle area = 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6 units²

Rectangle:

Area = length x width

length = 8 units

width = 4 units

Area = 8 x 4 = 32 units²

The area of the polygon.

= 3 + 5/2 + 6 + 32

= 3 + 2.5 + 6 + 32

= 43.5 units²

Thus,

The area is 43.5 units²
