To find the area of this quadrilateral, we first need to split it into two triangles.
Triangle 1:
- Base: 7in
- Height: 6in
- Area: (1/2) x Base x Height
= (1/2) x 7 x 6
= 21 square inches
Triangle 2:
- Base: 16in
- Height: 6in
- Area: (1/2) x Base x Height
= (1/2) x 16 x 6
= 48 square inches
Therefore, the total area of the quadrilateral is the sum of the areas of both triangles:
Area = 21 + 48
Area = 69 square inches
So, the area of this quadrilateral is 69 square inches.
The top there’s 7in, the right side has 16in, the left side has 10 in, and the inside top has 6 in. What’s the area of this quadrilateral?

No pick 91in, 78in, 39in, or 96in^2.
I apologize for the error in my previous calculations. Let's recalculate the area of the quadrilateral correctly.
Given:
- Top: 7in
- Right side: 16in
- Left side: 10in
- Inside top: 6in
We can split the quadrilateral into two triangles:
1. Triangle with base 10in and height 6in
2. Triangle with base 16in and height 6in
Area of triangle 1:
(1/2) x 10in x 6in = 30 square inches
Area of triangle 2:
(1/2) x 16in x 6in = 48 square inches
Total area of the quadrilateral:
30 square inches + 48 square inches = 78 square inches
Therefore, the correct area of the quadrilateral is 78 square inches.
Given:
- Top: 7in
- Right side: 16in
- Left side: 10in
- Inside top: 6in
We can split the quadrilateral into two triangles:
1. Triangle with base 10in and height 6in
2. Triangle with base 16in and height 6in
Area of triangle 1:
(1/2) x 10in x 6in = 30 square inches
Area of triangle 2:
(1/2) x 16in x 6in = 48 square inches
Total area of the quadrilateral:
30 square inches + 48 square inches = 78 square inches
Therefore, the correct area of the quadrilateral is 78 square inches.
