Question

Figure ABCD has vertices A(-4,1), B(2, 1), C(2, -5), and D(-4,-3) What is the area of figure ABCD?

24 square units
30 square units
36 square units
45 square units

Answer 1

B) 30 square units

Explanation:

If you graph this, you can first find the area of the rectangle and then find the area of the triangle. The area of the rectangle would be (6*4) or 24 and the area of the triangle would be 6. You can add those two up to get 30 and there is your answer.
