Plot and connect the following points: p(1, −4), q(5, −2), r(9, −4), s(7, −8), and t(3, −8). give the best name for the polygon, and determine the area.

The area of the pentagon is = 31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the perimeter of the "Pentagon" drawn in the attachment:

Now, we'll check the formula for pentagons:

we calculate the apothem by placing a 90° angle in one of the sides of the shape. It is equal to:

apothem=3

then, we can substitute the values in the formula
