Problem Statement

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)+"{"+string(i)+"}", (i,0), 2*S); if (i<6) { draw((0,i)--(6,i), gray+dashed); label(""+string(i)+"{"+string(i)+"}", (0,i), 2*W); } } label("00", 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]
