Question

What is the area of the quadrilateral?
7 cm width 12 cm height

Answer 1

The area of a quadrilateral is given by the formula:

Area = 1/2 x (sum of opposite sides) x (height)

In this case, the width and height are given as 7 cm and 12 cm respectively. Since the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are usually not given, we can assume the opposite sides to be equal. So, the sum of opposite sides would be 2 times the width, which is 2 x 7 cm = 14 cm.

Now, we can plug in the values into the formula:

Area = 1/2 x 14 cm x 12 cm
Area = 84 square cm

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 84 square cm.
