The image shows a geometric problem where the user needs to calculate the area of a polygon created by connecting the given points. The coordinates provided are:

- \( A(-4, 8) \)
- \( B(6, 8) \)
- \( C(-1, 0) \)
- \( D(6, 0) \)
- \( E(6, -4) \)
- \( F(-4, -4) \)

To find the area of the polygon, we can use the **Shoelace Theorem** (or **Gauss's area formula**) for calculating the area of a polygon when the coordinates of the vertices are given.

### Steps:
1. List the coordinates of the vertices in order:
   \[
   \text{Vertices: } A(-4, 8), B(6, 8), C(-1, 0), D(6, 0), E(6, -4), F(-4, -4)
   \]
2. Apply the Shoelace Theorem:
   \[
   \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} (x_i y_{i+1} - y_i x_{i+1}) \right|
   \]
   Where \( (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), \dots \) are the coordinates of the vertices.

Let's calculate the area step by step.

Learn how to find the area of a polygon by connecting points on a coordinate plane using the Shoelace Theorem. The vertices of the polygon are A(-4, 8), B(6, 8), C(-1, 0), D(6, 0), E(6, -4), and F(-4, -4). This problem explores key concepts in coordinate geometry.
