The area of a polygon in Cartesian space is to be calculated. Each vertex of the polygon is
at a coordinate (x,y). A polygon can be divided in half creating 2 sub polygons by
adding a line between 2 non-adjacent vertices and the area of the original polygon is the
sum of the area of the sub polygons. When a polygon contains 3 sides, it is a triangle for
which a formula can be applied to calculate the area given the coordinates of the vertices.
