Answer 1

The quadrilateral is a trapezoid and the area of the quadrilateral is 85.04 square units

How to determine the quadrilateral?

The vertices are given as:

A:(-2, 3) B:(4, -6) C:(10, 2) D:(6, 8)

Next, we plot the vertices (see attachment)

From the attached graph, we can see that the quadrilateral is a trapezoid

How to determine the area?

From the plot, we have the following features:

Height: AD

Parallel sides: CD and AB

Calculate the lengths using:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

So, we have:

$AD = \sqrt{(-2 -6)^2 + (3 -8)^2}$

$AD = \sqrt{89}$

$CD = \sqrt{(10 -6)^2 + (2 -8)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{52}$

$AB = \sqrt{(-2 -4)^2 + (3 +6)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{117}$

The area is then calculated as:

Area = 0.5 * (CD + AB) * AD

This gives

Area = 0.5 * (√52 + √117) * √89

Evaluate

Area = 85.04

Hence, the area of the quadrilateral is 85.04 square units
