, 
, and 
?
Solution 1
You need to first find the coordinates where the graphs intersect. y=5, and y=x+1 intersect at (4,5). y=5, and y=1-x intersect at (-4,5). y=1-x and y=1+x intersect at (1,0). Using the Shoelace Theorem you get ![\[\left(\frac{(-20+4)-(20-4}{2}\right)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/3/6/4364cd94fa9217850e20e30661546f651fa2729f.png)
=
\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 16}$.
