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

numbers 12 ,16

1 answer

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.
