Exercise #2: Quadrilateral DEFG has vertices at D ( 6, 1) , E ( 2, 4 ) , F ( ?5, 4 ) , and G ( ?1, 1) .
(a) Graph DEFG and identify what type of quadrilateral it is.
y
(b) Calculate the area of DEFG.
x
(c) Calculate the perimeter of DEFG.
Some figures may be subdivided into smaller regions so that common area formulas can be used to
calculate the overall area.
Exercise #3: Find the area of the polygon ABCDEF with coordinates A ( 4, 0 ) , B ( 3,3) , C ( ?1, 3) ,
y
D ( ?4, 0 ) , E ( ?1, ? 3) , and F ( 3, ? 3) .

To calculate the areas of more irregular shaped figures, it may be necessary to surround the figure with
a rectangle and subtract the areas outside of the graphed polygon.
Exercise #4: Find the area of ?ABC if it has vertices at A (1, 3) , B ( 5, 2 ) and C ( ?3, ? 3) .
