To find the area of the quadrilateral, we first need to split it into two triangles.
Triangle 1:
Base = 20 cm
Height = 10 cm
Area = 0.5 * 20 cm * 10 cm = 100 square cm
Triangle 2:
Base = 24 cm
Height = 10 cm
Area = 0.5 * 24 cm * 10 cm = 120 square cm
Total Area of the quadrilateral = Area of Triangle 1 + Area of Triangle 2
= 100 square cm + 120 square cm
= 220 square cm
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 220 square cm.
