In a rectangular coordinate system, what is the area of a quadrilateral whose vertices have the coordinates (2,-2), (2, 6), (14, 2), (14,-5)? Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 90	B) 95	C) 104	D) 117	E) 182
By graphing the points, we can see that this figure is a trapezoid. A trapezoid is any quadrilateral that has one set of parallel sides, and the formula for the area of a trapezoid is:   Area = (1/2) × (Base 1 + Base 2) × (Height), where the bases are the parallel sides.   We can now determine the area of the quadrilateral:   Area = 1/2 × (8 + 7) × 12 = 90.   The answer is 90.
