units²

To find the area of the given polygon, first we will join P and S .

So we have two figures here, a rectangle GPST, and a triangle , PES .

Area of rectangle is length times width .

For the given rectangle, area is GP times PS .

And for triangle , area is half of the product of height and base.

For the given triangle,

Total area of the polygon is the sum of areas of rectangle and triangle , that is
