Which term describes the number of square units contained in the interior of

a polygon?

A. Perimeter

B. Width

C. Height

D. Area

Area describes the number of square units contained in the interior of a polygon.

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Area is the amount that communicates the degree of a two-dimensional figure or shape or planar lamina, in the plane. Surface zone is its simple on the two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional article. The area of a figure is the number of squares required to cover it completely, like tiles on a floor.

To find the area of a rectangle multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.
