A polygon is graphed on a coordinate plane with the following vertices: (-7,-3),(-7,4),(6,-3),(6,4). What is the area of this polygon in square units.

Question

Area of a polygon

Answer 1

Area = 70 square units

Area = base times height = 10 x 7 = 70

base = 3--7 = 3+7 =10

height = 4--3 = 4+3 = 7

A=bh = 10x7 = 70

it might help to plot the points, connect them with line segments. It's a rectangle 10 by 7

the polygon is a rectangle
