To find the area of the quadrilateral, we need to find the area of the entire shape and then subtract the area of the cut out section.
First, we need to find the area of the entire shape. The top and bottom sides add up to 24 cm (outside) + 20 cm (outside) = 44 cm. So the total width of the shape is 44 cm.
The height of the shape is 10 cm (inside).
Therefore, the area of the entire shape is 44 cm x 10 cm = 440 cm².
Next, we need to subtract the area of the cut out section. The cut-out section has a height of 10 cm and a width of 20 cm. So the area of the cut out section is 20 cm x 10 cm = 200 cm².
Subtracting the area of the cut-out section from the area of the entire shape gives us:
440 cm² - 200 cm² = 240 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer is 240 cm².
Ok so there is a QUADRILATERAL cut on too sides. On the outside top is 24 cm, inside the QUADRILATERAL is 10 cm, and on the bottom outside it is 20 cm. what is the cm by the power or 2? EXPLAIN PLS
