Find the area of the complex polygon in the figure. provided answers: a. 320 in² b. 320 in c. 114 in² d. 114 in

See since the one on the right is also a rectangle with length 7 inches and breadth 6 inches (9-3). So its area is 42 square inches. The one on the left has sides 9 inches and 8 inches (15-7). so its area is 72 square inches. Adding them we get 114 square inches

Here's a shape: |dw:1389509781952:dw| Now it has a certain amount of area, right? So if I cut the shape in half, it still has the same total area, it's just that all of its area isn't touching anymore: |dw:1389509789659:dw| But this works backwards too. If you find the area of the pieces you can always put it back together. So any time you see something that looks weird or complex, just break it down into the pieces, whether it's triangles, rectangles, or circles, and find the areas of those, then add them back up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first rectangle is 9 by 8 and the second is 6 by 7. So you add the two areas and you'll come up with 114 sq. in.
