Question

Find the area of the polygon defined by the coordinates (0, -5), (-5, 0), (-15, -20), and (-20, -15). A) 90 square units B) 110 square units C) 130 square units D) 150 square units

Answer 1

D) 150 square units

Explanation:

Use the distance formula: d = (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2

A = L x W = 15/-2x 5/-2

= 150

Answer 2

Answer: E. 150 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:A polygon is figure with at least 3 straight or definite sides or typically 5 or more straight sides.

Here the polygon we are given is a rectangle.

We know that,

Area of a rectangle = l x w

so we need to measure the length and width of the rectangle to find its area.

If we look closely, we can see the length of the rectangle above the x-axis is 8 units and the length below the x-axis 7 units which makes a total og 15 units.
