53 units squared
68 units squared
88 units squared

**WHOEVER GIVES THE CORRECT GETS BRAINIEST ANSWER**

Make sure you explain why it is correct with/or details please:)

Respuesta :

I don't know quite how to explain yet the area of the polygon is 68 units squared.

The first thing you should do is draw the points in the Cartesian plane and then join them to find the polygon.

 The searched polygon can be seen in the attached image.

 The area of the polygon will be the area of the square plus the area of the triangle.

 At = (6) * (8) + (1/2) * (5) * (8) = 68

 At = 68

 answer

 the area of the polygon is 68units ^ 2
