Draw the vertices and polygon in a coordinate plane.
Perimeter: ≈ 22.3
Area: 30
Let's start with marking the vertices and drawing the polygon in a coordinate plane.
The polygon is a quadrilateral.
Substitute ( 1,4) & ( 3,-2)
The perimeter of the polygon is therefore approximately 6+6+4+6.3=22.3.
To determine the area we divide the polygon into a rectangle and a triangle.
The area of a rectangle is the product of the base and height: A_(rectangle)=6*4 = 24. The area of a triangle is the product of the base and height divided by 2: A_(triangle)=6*2/2=6. Thus, the area of the polygon is A_(polygon)=24+6 = 30.
