Problem
What is the area enclosed by the geoboard quadrilateral below?
![[asy] unitsize(3mm); defaultpen(linewidth(.8pt)); dotfactor=2; for(int a=0; a<=10; ++a) for(int b=0; b<=10; ++b) { dot((a,b)); }; draw((4,0)--(0,5)--(3,4)--(10,10)--cycle); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/6/0/76034624e12f53431e5b0c0d4dd5abb475dc1fbb.png)
Solution 1
![[asy] unitsize(5mm); defaultpen(linewidth(.8pt)); dotfactor=2; for(int a=0; a<=10; ++a) for(int b=0; b<=10; ++b) { dot((a,b)); }; draw((4,0)--(0,5)--(3,4)--(10,10)--cycle); draw((0,0)--(10,0)--(10,10)--(3,4)--(0,5)--cycle); draw((10,4)--(0,4)--cycle); dot("$A$", (0,5), W); dot("$B$", (3,4), N); dot("$C$", (10,10), NE); dot("$D$", (0,4), W); dot("$E$", (10,4), E); dot("$F$", (0,0), SW); dot("$G$", (10,0), SE); dot("$H$", (4,0), S); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/0/5/005f9f59d2c18f343506c5ccec951cf72f6aa5aa.png)
Divide the shape up as above.
![\[Area = [DEGF] + [ABD] + [BCE] - [AFH] - [CGH] = 4 \cdot 10 + \frac12 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 + \frac12 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 - \frac12 \cdot 5 \cdot 4 - \frac12 \cdot 6 \cdot 10 = 40 + \frac32 + 21 - 10 - 30 = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 22\frac12}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/5/1/451699e68db782227a57cee6b41a225de3111d0b.png)
Solution 2
Let the bottom left corner be 
. The points would then be 
and 
. Applying the Shoelace Theorem,
![\[\text{Area} = \frac12 \begin{vmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 5 \\ 3 & 4 \\ 10 & 10 \end{vmatrix} = \frac12 |(20+30)-(15+40+40)| = \frac12 |50-95| = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 22\frac12}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/f/f/2ff044d57d10f3e743aa129b0d6e4b0450bc5d95.png)
Solution 3
The figure contains 
interior points and 
boundary points. Using Pick's Theorem, the area is ![\[21+\frac{5}{2}-1=\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 22\frac12}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/5/e/f5e1586abbf61db3a45123dd45f1f2b1c1d8c6bd.png)
