What is the area of the shaded figure shown below?
![[asy] size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.4)+fontsize(12)); pen s = linewidth(0.8)+fontsize(8); pair O,X,Y; O = origin; X = (6,0); Y = (0,5); fill((1,0)--(3,5)--(5,0)--(3,2)--cycle, palegray+opacity(0.2)); for (int i=1; i<7; ++i) { draw((i,0)--(i,5), gray+dashed); label("${"+string(i)+"}$", (i,0), 2*S); if (i<6) { draw((0,i)--(6,i), gray+dashed); label("${"+string(i)+"}$", (0,i), 2*W); } } label("$0$", O, 2*SW); draw(O--X+(0.15,0), EndArrow); draw(O--Y+(0,0.15), EndArrow); draw((1,0)--(3,5)--(5,0)--(3,2)--(1,0), black+1.5); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/7/1/1714dc248f12bd0640e9ec37023a14eddda46d9c.png)
Solution 1 (Area Addition)
The line of symmetry divides the shaded figure into two congruent triangles, each with base 
and height 
Therefore, the area of the shaded figure is ![\[2\cdot\left(\frac12\cdot3\cdot2\right)=\boxed{\textbf{(B)} \: 6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/a/3/ea393c968cf9651354953c7f88bd794710e7ad03.png)

Solution 2 (Area Subtraction)
The area is
Therefore, the answer is 
.

Solution 3
We start by finding the points. The outlined shape is made up of 
. By the
Shoelace Theorem, we find the area to be 
, or .

Solution 4
We can use Pick's Theorem. We have 
interior points and boundary points. By Pick's Theorem, we get 
Checking our answer choices, we find our answer to be .
