![**Example 2 / Homework**
Calculate the area from the following coordinates:
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Points} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\
\hline
X \, (\text{m}) & 300 & 400 & 600 & 1000 & 1200 \\
\hline
Y \, (\text{m}) & 300 & 800 & 1200 & 1000 & 400 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
Area = ? m²
---
**Graph/Diagram Explanation**
The table provides coordinates for five points, which can be plotted on a Cartesian plane. Each point is defined by an X-coordinate (horizontal position) and a Y-coordinate (vertical position). The challenge is to calculate the area enclosed by connecting these points sequentially.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0c1bab97-1e92-43d3-bf61-d0cbab623b79%2Fe1c37f15-09bb-4d8d-915c-e791da705cd9%2F69rshit_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
