Answer 5

there

Answer 6

the requested area is given by the subsequent formula:
\[\Large A = \frac{{\left( {B + b} \right) \times h}}{2}\]
where:
B= 5-(-4)= 9
b= 3-(-2)= 5
h=5-1=4
so
\[\Large A = \frac{{\left( {B + b} \right) \times h}}{2} = \frac{{\left( {9 + 5} \right) \times 4}}{2} = ...\]

Answer 14

here we have to apply the same formula above. Now using the same symbols, we have:
B=9-3=...
b=7-5=...
h=8-5=...
\[A = \frac{{\left( {B + b} \right) \times h}}{2}\]

Answer 15
