Oriented Polygon

Calculus Level 2

Find the signed area of this oriented pentagon A 1 A 2 A 3 A 4 A 5 \vec{A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5} with vertices:

A 1 = [ 3 , 6 ] , A 2 = [ 7 , 5 ] , A 3 = [ 7 , 1 ] , A 4 = [ 2 , 2 ] , A 5 = [ 1 , 4 ] A_1=[3,6],A_2=[7,5],A_3=[7,1],A_4=[2,2],A_5=[1,4]

Hint: Use the formula to get area of an oriented side and take the sum of all the signed area of the sides. x 1 y 2 x 2 y 1 2 \frac{x_1y_2-x_2y_1}{2}


The answer is -21.5.
