Answer: 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

once you plot out the points, it shows a polygon. cut the polygon into a square and a triangle, and count the units to get the lengths, widths, and heights.

you find that the height of the square is 6, and the width is 5. multiply those to get the area of the square: 30.

the width of the triangle is 2 units, and the height is 6. multiply those to get 12, then divide it in half to get the area: 6.

then you add the area of the square to the area of the triangle to get the total area of 36 units squared.

hope this is an understandable explanation!!
