The area of the figure can easily be calculated by adding the two areas of the polygons.
Area of the Triangle -
[tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (11 - 5) (3)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (6)(3)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (18)[/tex]
= 9 square units
Area of Rectangle -
Bh
(11)(4)
= 44 square units
Area of polygon = area of triangle + area of rectangle
Area of polygon = 9 + 44
Area of polygon = 53 square units
So it is Option A
