Find the area of the polygon with vertices (1, 2) (1, -5) (5, -5) (5,2)
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

28 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

These vertices are written in the form of their x and y coordinates. Let

A=(1,2) ; B =(1,-5) ; C =(5, -5) ; D=(5,2)

The x points are 1, 1, 5, 5

The y points are 2,-5, -5, 2

The x extremes range from 1 to 5. The length  in-between is 5-1 = 4

The y extremes range from -5 to 2. The length  in-between is 2-(-5) = 7

Area of the polygon enclosed by the coordinates

   = 4 x 7 = 28 square units
