Answer 6

I would split that up into the following shapes:
Triangle AEF
Triangle ABE
The tall skinny triangle with corners at D, E, and the point (5, -3)
The square with corners at E, B, C, and (5, -3).

The triangles should be pretty easy to find the area, since they're all right triangles and you can easily count the leg lengths. A = 1/2 x base x height
The square is also simple, since the corners all lie on exact points, you can quickly count the side lengths. A = length x width

After you find the area of all four shapes, just add them up to get the total area!
