By summing the areas of minor rectangles and triangles, the area of the irregular polygon whose vertices are (- 3, 4), (2, 4), (4, 2), (2, - 3) and (- 3, - 3) is equal to 42 square units.
How to determine the area of a irregular polygon
In this problem we have to determine the area of a irregular polygon, whose calculation is defined as a sum of the areas of triangles and rectangles. To determine the combination of squares and triangles, we need first to plot the vertices and construct the figure on a Cartesian plane.
The area of the irregular figure is:
A = (5) · (7) + 0.5 · 2² + 0.5 · (2) · (5)
A = 35 + 2 + 5
A = 42
