use the method of determinants
solve it like this
| | = stands for determinants

| x1 y1| + | x2 y2 | + | x3 y3 | + | x4 y4 | + | x5 y5 |
| x2 y2 | | x3 y3 | | x4 y4 | | x5 y5 | | x1 y1 |

= (x1y2 - x2y1) + (x2y3 - x3y2) + (x3y4 - x4y3) + (x4y5 - x5y4) + (x5y1 + x1y5)

put values and get the ans.

another method can be divide it into three triangles now u know the vertices of all the triangles use above method to find area of triangle
and add them....
