Answer:
The area of the parking lot is: 144cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for polygon
Required
The area of the parking lot
The attached plot has 6 congruent triangles with the following dimension;
[tex]Base = 6cm[/tex]
[tex]Height = 8cm[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * Base * Height[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * 6cm * 8cm[/tex]
[tex]Area = 24cm^2[/tex]
The area of the 6 triangles is:
Area = 6 * Area of 1 triangle
[tex]Area = 6 * 24cm^2[/tex]
[tex]Area = 144cm^2[/tex]
