Answer: 9 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is shown below.

Side AC is the base which is 6 units long (since 9-3 = 6)

Side AB is the height which is 3 units

area = base*height/2 = 6*3/2 = 18/2 = 9

A polygon has vertices A(3, 3), B(3, 6), and C(9, 3). Find the area of the polygon-example-1
