We can see that the shape is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. Such a shape is called a trapezoid.
Let's do the same thing with one more point.
If we repeat the procedure for the remaining two points, we can draw the rotated polygon.
By examining the graph, we can identify the coordinates of A'B'C'D'. &A'=(-2,- 1) &B'=(-5,0) &C'=(- 5,2) &D'=(-2,6)
If we repeat the procedure for the remaining points, we can draw the reflected polygon.
Examining the diagram, we see that the coordinates of A'' are (1,2) and C'' is (- 2,5).
A=1/2(a+b)h
Now we can find the area of the trapezoid.
