Mrs. Miller Saves the Day!!...

As I mentioned before, this week's Resiliency Question really stumped me.  So I went to my friend and colleague, Mrs. Miller (semi-resident Math expert for Hayes) for help. :) As I expected, she was able to guide me to an understanding. 

Let me explain.

Here is the question at hand...

I was able to draw the polygon and compute the area for most all of it.  What I couldn't figure out was the area of the 2 triangles that were NOT right triangles, given that I didn't know the height (A = 1/2 b * h).


Mrs. Miller came through!!! Those 2 triangles I was talking about--- they FIT into the original quadrangle!!  Don't believe me.  Look for yourself.
