The area of the quadrilateral is 80 in.2.
To calculate the area of a parallelogram, you use the formula: Area = base x height.
In this case, the base is 14 inches and the height is 8 inches.
Area = 14 inches x 8 inches = 112 square inches.
Since it is a quadrilateral, you divide the area by 2 to get the area of the parallelogram.
112 square inches / 2 = 56 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 80 in.2.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a parallelogram. The top side, slanted downward, is 10 inches. The left side is 14 inches. A dotted perpendicular line is drawn from top right vertex to the left side and labeled as 8 inches. It is denoted by one right angle symbol on the right and two right angle symbols on the left.
