In the rectangular coordinate plane, point A has coordinates (-4, 0), point B has coordinates (0, 4), point C has coordinates (4, 0), and point D has coordinates (0, -4). What is the area of quadrilateral ABCD?

When drawing this our we quickly come to realize that we can utilize the area of a rhombus (or a kite) which is 1/2 * diagonal length 1 * diagonal length 2 which is 1/2 * 8 * 8 = 32.
We get 8 by realizing that points B and D (y axis) are 8 apart and points A and C (x axis) are 8 apart.
Additionally you could use the area of a square and use the distance formula to find one side length and square it to get 32. But this method is a bit more tedious since we'd have to use the distance formula, more time consuming as well.

Finding the 4 points on the plane, you can imagine the graph as a square with side of 4, or 4 Isosceles right triangles. sticking to the later, the area of each triangle is: S=0.5*4*4=8 and as there are four of them, the area of the graph is: 4*S=4*8=32
