Answer 2

area=7*10.49=73.43

Answer 3

Alrighty, here's the game plan :)
>Whenever you have multiple sides and need to find an area, break the shape into basics: squares, rectangles, triangles, etc.
>Start with the center point and draw out wards to each corner, this will give you 8 triangles with a base of 7 and a height of 10.49
