Question

Find the area of the polygon with E(-3,2), F(1,5), G(5,-1), H(1,-5).

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

-3   2

               -15  -   2         =      -17

1     5

                 -1    -  25      =     -26

5   -1

                -25    -   (-1)   =     - 24

1   -5

                 2      -   15    =     -13

-3   2

area = |-17 - 26 - 24 - 13|/2 = |-80|/2 = 80/2 = 40
