What is the area of the polygon?

So with this polygon, you're gonna have to break it into 3 pieces: square VEDR, triangle MVA, and triangle MRA (point A is at (-2,2). I gave it a point so its easier to explain). And then you're gonna get those areas and then add them together.

Starting with the square:

Sides ED and VR are 6 units.
Sides VE and RD are 5 units.

Area of a square is , so just plug in 6 and 5 in there to get 30 units^2

Now triangle MVA:

Side MA is 3 units.
Side AV is 1 unit.

Area of a triangle is  . Plug in 3 and 1 at the b and h variable and solve. Your answer should be 1.5 units^2.

Finally, triangle MRA:

Side MA has 3 units, as previously mentioned.
Side AR has 5 units.

Area of a triangle is  . Plug in 3 and 5 at the b and h variable and solve. Your answer should be 7.5 units^2.

Now the adding part:

The areas we have gotten are 30, 1.5, and 7.5. Add them all up to get 39 units^2, which is the area of the polygon.
