Use the image to answer the question. Find the area of the quadrilateral. (1 point) Responses 30 cm2 30 cm squared 60 cm2 60 cm squared 54 cm2 54 cm squared 24 cm2 24 cm squared
To find the area of the quadrilateral, we can divide it into two triangles and find the area of each separately.
The two triangles have bases of 6 cm and heights of 4 cm and 6 cm respectively.
Area of triangle 1 = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 6 cm * 4 cm = 12 cm2
Area of triangle 2 = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 6 cm * 6 cm = 18 cm2
Adding the two areas together, we get:
Area of quadrilateral = Area of triangle 1 + Area of triangle 2
Area of quadrilateral = 12 cm2 + 18 cm2
Area of quadrilateral = 30 cm2
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 30 cm2 or 30 cm squared.
