\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the polygons whose vertices are:
\n" ); document.write( "a. (-4, 2), (3, -4), (6, 2), (1, 4)
\n" ); document.write( "b. (-3, 4), (1, 5), (4, 2), (3, -3), (-2, -4)
\n" ); document.write( "

Area of the polygon =  the POSITIVE difference of the SUM of the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE DIAGONAL-PRODUCTS.
\n" );
document.write( "First of all, you have to make sure that the points have been aligned in a CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE position. 
\n" );
document.write( "Sum of POSITIVE DIAGONAL-PRODUCTS: - 32
\n" );
document.write( "Sum of NEGATIVE DIAGONAL-PRODUCTS: 48
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
