Answer:

15 units^2

Explanation:

If we plot our points, we will notice that it is a triangle

The formula for area of a triangle is 1/2 * b * h

Our base will be 6, as the distance along the x-axis from (0,5) to (6,5) is 6 units

Our height will be 5 as the distance from (3,5) to (3,0) is 5

5*6 = 30

30/2 = 15

So 15 units^2

Best of luck
