1 answer

The area of the quadrilateral can be found by calculating the area of the parallelogram.

Since the height of the parallelogram is given as 3 inches, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

Area = base × height

Area = 14 inches × 3 inches

Area = 42 square inches

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 42 square inches.
