Step-by-step explanation:
there is one central rectangle :
from (-4, 2) to (2, -2).
that means it dimensions are 6×4 (for x from -4 to +3, for y from +2 to -2).
and then there are 3 additional triangles
(2, -4) (2, 2) (6, 2)
(-4, -2) (2, -2) (2, -4)
(-6, 2) (-4, 2) (-4, -2)
with the leg lengths
(2, -4) to (2, 2) = 6, and (2, 2) to (6, 2) = 4
(-4, -2) to (2, -2) = 6, and (2, -2) to 2, -4) = 2
(-6, 2) to (-4, 2) = 2, and (-4, 2) to (-4, -2) = 4
the area of the rectangle is
6×4 = 24 square units
the area of the first triangle is
6×4/2 = 3×4 = 12 square units
the area of the second triangle is
6×2/2 = 6 square units
the area of the third triangle is
2×4 = 8 square units.
so, the total area is
24 + 12 + 6 + 8 = 50 square units.
