Answer 1

& i have this so far as an answer but i feel that i have something wrong..

Im going to join AC and FC. Which will make triangle ABC and triangle AFC. it will leave trapezoid FEDC.
Area of triangle ABC
A= 1/2bh
A=1/2 x 3 x 4
A= 6

Area of triangle AFC
A=1/2bh
A=1/2 x 3 x 3
A=4.5

Area of trapezoid FECD

A= 6 X 4+2 / 2 = 18

6+ 4.5+ 18 = 28.5

Answer 2

THat can be divided successfully into 4 triangles of which you will use the coordinates of the vertices to find the length of their sides and then the areas.
