Use the image to answer the question. What is the area of the quadrilateral? (1 point) in.2

Question

numbers 12 ,16

Answer 1

To find the area of the quadrilateral, we need to find the area of the entire rectangle and then subtract the area of the triangle.

Area of the entire rectangle:
Area = length x width
Area = 16 x 12
Area = 192 in^2

Area of the triangle:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 8 x 4
Area = 16 in^2

Now, we subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the entire rectangle:
192 in^2 - 16 in^2 = 176 in^2

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 176 in^2.
