QuestionFind the area of the polygon with vertices at , , , and . Area [?] sq. units.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The given coordinates form a polygon. The polygon is a rectangle or a parallelogram (as the x-coordinates and y-coordinates are repeated)
3. The area of a rectangle or a parallelogram is given by the formula Area = base * height
STEP 2
First, we need to find the base and the height of the polygon. We can do this by subtracting the smaller x-coordinate from the larger x-coordinate for the base, and the smaller y-coordinate from the larger y-coordinate for the height.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the x-coordinates and y-coordinates to calculate the base and the height.
STEP 4
Calculate the base and the height.
STEP 5
Now that we have the base and the height, we can find the area of the polygon. This can be done by multiplying the base by the height.
STEP 6
Plug in the values for the base and the height to calculate the area.
STEP 7
Calculate the area of the polygon.
The area of the polygon is15 square units.
