Question 1191065
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Since there is no formula for the area of irregular polygons with more than three sides, you must divide the figure into polygons for which there are area formulae.  If the pictured polygon does not have parallel opposite sides, then the problem has no solution.  You must assume that the sides are parallel so that you have a solution.  Alternatively, you could take a passive-agressive strategy and assert to your instructor that there is no solution based on the fact that there is really no reason from the information given that the necessary parallelism exists.
