Answer:

41 square units

Explanation:

this polygon can be split into several sub-shapes, for which we can calculate their areas much easier. and then we simply add all the sub-results for the total result.

for me this split would be

1. square CDEF, with F being an additional point at (6,5) : 4 units to the right of C.

2. a right-angled triangle ABF (the same F as for 1.).

the area of a square is the square of a side length.

the side length in 1. is 4.

so, its area is 4×4 = 16 square units.

the area of a right-angled triangle is

a×b/2

with a and b being the sides enclosing the 90 degree angle.

in our case here a = BF = 10, b = FA = 5

so the area of the triangle is 10×5/2 = 25 square units.

so, the total area is 16 + 25 = 41 square units.
