Question

Find the area of the polygon with the given vertices:
W(0,0), X(0,3), Y(-3,3), and Z(-3,0)

Answer 1

9
`units^(2)`

Explanation:

When you draw the graph, you find that the points make a square with a side length of 3 units long. The area would therefore be 3x3 = 9.

Answer 2

9 units^2

Explanation:

The figure made is a rectangle with length in the x direction -3 to 0

0 - -3 = 0+3 = 3 units

And the length in the y direction from 0 to 3

3-0 = 3

The figure is a square

A = l*w = 3*3 = 9 units^2
