The area of the convex polygon is 21.5 square units
<h3>How to determine the area of the convex polygon?</h3>
The vertices are given as:
(0,5), (-1,2), (4,4), (-3,-4) and (2,0)
The area is then calculated as:
A = 0.5 * |x1y2 - x2y1 +x2y3 - x3y2 + ....... |
So, we have:
A = 0.5 * |-1 * 5 - 2 * 0 + 0 * 4 - 5 * 4 + 4 * 0 - 4 * 2 +2 * -4 - 0 * -3 - 3 * 2 + 4 * 1|
Evaluate
A = 0.5 * |-43|
Remove the absolute bracket
A = 0.5 * 43
This gives
A = 21.5
Hence, the area of the convex polygon is 21.5 square units
