Area of Geometric Shapes
1) Using the "Polygon" tool (5th button from left with a triangle on it), select "Polygon" and connect the following points in order by locating each point on the (x,y) coordinate system. (Note: You will click point A again after D to complete the polygon.)
A = (6, 5), B = (8, -2), C = (-4, -2), D = (-2, 5)
1) What is the area of the shape you created?
