Problem
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+(0.35,0), black+1.5, EndArrow(10)); draw(O--Y+(0,0.35), black+1.5, EndArrow(10)); draw((1,0)--(3,5)--(5,0)--(3,2)--(1,0), black+1.5); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/5/0/950ff8f5847f0f8acb13a489295e0c08395cb448.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 ![\[2\cdot\left(\frac12\cdot3\cdot2\right)=2\cdot3=\boxed{\textbf{(B)} \: 6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/2/d/e2d4bdf0660f7ecc1c8db029d77a71a94d5925fc.png)

Solution 2 (Area Subtraction)
To find the area of the shaded figure, we subtract the area of the smaller triangle (base 
and height 
) from the area of the larger triangle (base and height 
): ![\[\frac12\cdot4\cdot5-\frac12\cdot4\cdot2=10-4=\boxed{\textbf{(B)} \: 6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/4/5/f4549488e5575113e4bc3c0ded44f9db3c88a1f1.png)

Solution 3 (Shoelace Theorem)
The consecutive vertices of the shaded figure are 
and 
By the Shoelace Theorem, the area is ![\[\frac12\cdot|(1\cdot2+3\cdot0+5\cdot5+3\cdot0)-(0\cdot3+2\cdot5+0\cdot3+5\cdot1)|=\frac12\cdot12=\boxed{\textbf{(B)} \: 6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/2/9/62964fd1a93ce6cac7270ea14e2167c9365cd3aa.png)

Solution 4 (Pick's Theorem)
We have lattice points in the interior and 
lattice points on the boundary. By Pick's Theorem, the area of the shaded figure is ![\[4+\frac{6}{2}-1 = 4+3-1 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)} \: 6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/1/4/81411734430f77e31c966a110c816c2ef4d4b3fc.png)
