OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would first find the area of the square in which this shape would be inscribed, then subtract the areas of the triangles that not included in the square. You know what I mean ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

explain ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Well, if you were to try to outline the shape with a square, you would get a square 8 by 8 units right ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am referring to the square that stands on [-5,3] (x-interval) and [0,-8] (y-interval)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Okay, so now you have 4 triangles that the shape is lacking to be a square, okay ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
