Answer:
28 square units
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
