Area on Coordinate Planes

Find the area of trapezoids (using coordinate planes)

Use a coordinate plane to find the area of each trapezoid.

\(A(-2, 5)\) \(B(-5, 5)\) \(C(-5, -6)\) \(D(1, -6)\)

Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
