Answer 1

The calculated area of the polygon XYZ is 36 square units

How to calculate the area of the polygon in square units?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

X(3,1) Y(3,-2) Z(-2,-2)

The area of the polygon in square units is calculated as

Area = 1/2 * Base * Height

Where, we have

Base = 9

Height = 8

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

Area = 1/2 * 9 * 8

So, we have

Area = 36

Hence, the area is 36 square units
