Answer

1. Area of rectangle 1 = 2*4 = 8 square units2. Area of rectangle 2 = 3*4 = 12 square units3. Area of triangle = 0.5*4*3 = 6 square units4. Total area = 8 + 12 + 6 = 26 square units

Explanation

The area of a polygon can be found by dividing dividing it into rectangles and triangles, finding the area of each, and then adding them together. In this case, the polygon is divided into two rectangles and one triangle. The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width, and the area of a triangle is found by multiplying its base by its height and then dividing by 2. The areas of the rectangles and triangle are then added together to find the total area of the polygon.
