Question

Suppose you are given the coordinates of the vertices of a polygon. What steps could you take to solve a problem involving the polygon's area?

Answer 1

find the area of the polygon by finding the legnth of its sides by finding distance between vertices

distance between ponts (a,b) an (c,d) is
D= $\sqrt{(c-a)^{2}+(d-b)^{2}}$


do the rest yourself by intuistion
