Figure ABCD has vertices A(−2, 3), B(4, 3), C(4, −2), and D(−2, 0). What is the area of Figure ABCD?

6 square units

18 square units
24 square units

If you graph the points, you can see it is a trapezoid. The left and right sides are the bases because they are parallel to each other. The "top", AB, is the height.

Area of a Trapezoid is found by averaging the bases and times the height.

A = (b +b)/2 • h

see image.

You could do a whole bunch of calculations using distance formula and slope to figure out what the shape looks like but just putting the points on a graph is the simplest way. Then count squares to find side lengths and use the area formula. see image.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A(−2, 3)

B(4, 3)

C(4, −2)

D(−2, 0)

You can divide the shape into a triagnle and a rectangle.

Triangle:

base: from x = -2 to x = 4, 6 units.

height: from y = -2 to y = 0, 2 units.

area of a traingle: (base*height) /2 = (6*2)/2 = 6 square units.

Now the rectangle:

Width: from y =0 to y = 3, 3 units.

Length: from x=-2 to x=4, 6 units.

Area of a rectangle: width * length = 3 * 6 = 18 square units.

Add those areas up.

6 + 18 = 24 square units.
