To find the area of the quadrilateral, we can split it into a rectangle and a triangle.
The rectangle has a base of 6 inches and a height of 10 inches. This gives us an area of 6 * 10 = 60 in^2.
The triangle has a base of 6 inches and a height of 7 inches. This gives us an area of 0.5 * 6 * 7 = 21 in^2.
Adding the area of the rectangle and the triangle together, we get 60 + 21 = 81 in^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options given.
