Answer:
19 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a LOT of different ways to solve this problem, most of which involve breaking up the shape into smaller shapes. For me, it’s easier to draw a rectangle around the figure, find that area, and then subtract the four areas not in the figure.
Rectangle: would be from -3 to 3 (6) and -2 to 4 (6). 6x6=36
The four missing triangles:
AB = 1/2(3)(2)=3
BC = 1/2(2)(4)=4
CD = 1/2(2)(4)=4
DA = 1/2(4)(3)=6
6+4+4+3=17
36-17=19
