An artist is laying out the design for a wall hanging on a coordinate plane. She uses polygon EFGH with vertices E (4, 4), F (−4, 4), G (−4, −4), and H (4, −4) to represent the finished piece. What is the area of this polygon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area is 64squared units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]E = (4,4)[/tex]

[tex]F = (-4,4)[/tex]

[tex]G = (-4,-4)[/tex]

[tex]H = (4,-4)[/tex]

Required

The area of the polygon

First, we plot the given coordinates on a plane (See attachment)

From the attachment, we can see that the 4 coordinates make up a square.

Where

[tex]EF = FG = GH = GE = 8\ units[/tex]

So, the area is:

[tex]Area = EF^2[/tex]

Substitute [tex]8[/tex] for [tex]EF[/tex]

[tex]Area = 8^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = 64[/tex]

Hence, the area is 64 squared units
