Polygon abcd has the following vertices:

a(−4, 2), b(3, 2), c(3, −5), and d(−4, −2)

calculate the area of the polygon.

To be able to solve clearly this problem, the best thing to do is to plot the graph (see attached pic). From the graph we can see that the points form a trapezoid.

The base is formed by the segment connecting point A and point B.

While the two heights: shorter one by the segment connecting points A and D, and the longer one by the segment connecting points B and C.

The formula for area of trapezoid is given as:

A = b (h1 + h2) / 2

Where,

b = base of the trapezoid  = 3 – (-4) = 7

h1 = shorter height = 2 – (-2) = 4

h2 = longer height = 2 – (-5) = 7

Therefore the area is:

A = 7 (4 + 7) / 2

A = 77 / 2

A = 38.5

step-by-step explanation:

h * s * a

h = history teacher

s = science teacher

a =   art teacher.

i see no data table, but just multiply the number of history teachers, science teachers, and art teachers.
