Question

Fill in the steps to find the area of the shape. Units are in yards. Point A is at -9, 2. Point B is at 0, 8. Point C is at 4, 2. Point D is at -5, -4. Step 1: Find the BLANK of the line that connects A to B and the line that connects BLANK. Once there are found, we will BLANK these. The final answer is BLANK. Fill in the blanks.

Answer 1

To find the area of the shape formed by points A, B, C, and D, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the **slope** of the line that connects A to B and the line that connects **B to C**. Once these slopes are found, we will **use them to check for the angles and relationships between the lines**. The final answer is **the area obtained through the formula for the area of a polygon** or by breaking the shape into triangles and triangles' areas.

Here's the completed version:

Step 1: Find the **slope** of the line that connects A to B and the line that connects **B to C**. Once these slopes are found, we will **use them to check for the angles and relationships between the lines**. The final answer is **the area we calculate based on the coordinates of the vertices A, B, C, and D** using the shoelace formula or another appropriate method.
