Question

4cm at the top 6 cm on the right side 9cm on the left side and 5 cm on the bottom. What’s the area of the quadrilateral?

Answer 1

Pick the answer 24, 60, 54, or 30 cm

Answer 2

To find the area of the quadrilateral, we need to divide it into two triangles and then calculate the area of each triangle separately.

First, let's calculate the area of the triangle on the right side:
Base = 5 cm
Height = 6 cm

Area of the right triangle = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 5 cm * 6 cm= 15 square cm

Next, let's calculate the area of the triangle on the left side:
Base = 4 cm
Height = 9 cm

Area of the left triangle = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 4 cm * 9 cm= 18 square cm

Now, add the areas of the two triangles to find the total area of the quadrilateral:
Total area = 15 square cm (right triangle) + 18 square cm (left triangle) = 33 square cm

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 33 square cm.

Answer 3

The correct answer is 30 cm.

Total area = 15 square cm (right triangle) + 18 square cm (left triangle) = 33 square cm

Therefore, the closest option is 30 cm.
