What is the area of a polygon with points(10,6),(8,3),(6,-2)and (10,2)on a grid?
1-Graph all points on graph paper.
2-When you know what geometric shape it is, find the area.
I graphed it for you and learned that it is a trapezoid.
Here is the formula you need to find the area:
A = [h(a + b)/2)
Can you handle it from here?
