Area #A=42#

Explanation:

In the figure, we can split the given closed polygon into rectangles and triangles

Triangles are 4 in number

#b_1=3, h_1=2, T_1=1/2(b_1h_1)=1/2(3)(2)=3#
#b_2=4, h_2=2, T_2=1/2(b_2h_2)=1/2(4)(2)=4#
#b_3=3, h_3=2, T_1=1/2(b_1h_1)=1/2(3)(2)=3#
#b_4=4, h_4=2, T_1=1/2(b_1h_1)=1/2(4)(2)=4#

Total area of triangles #T=T_1+T_2+T_3+T_4#
#T=3+4+3+4=14#

Rectangle is 1 in number

#b=7, h=4, R=b_1h_1=(7)(4)=28#

Total area #A=T+R=14+28=42#

Area #A=42#

#"area "=42" square units"#

Explanation:

#"we can split the figure into 'regular' figures"#

#"the central region is a "color(blue)"rectangle"#

#"the regions above and below the rectangle are "color(blue)"triangles"#

#• " area of rectangle "="length "xx" breadth"#

#• " area of triangle "=1/2xx" base "xx" height"#

#"area of rectangle "=7xx4=28#

#"area of 2 congruent triangles "=2xx1/2xx7xx2=14#

#"area of figure "=28+14=42" square units"#
