What is the area of the quadrilateral? height is 12 in on the left and 10 in on the right side and the width is 8 in
To find the area of the quadrilateral, you can divide it into two triangles and add their areas together.
First, find the area of the left triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 8 in * 12 in
Area = 48 square inches
Then, find the area of the right triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 8 in * 10 in
Area = 40 square inches
Finally, add the areas of both triangles together to find the total area of the quadrilateral:
Total Area = 48 square inches + 40 square inches
Total Area = 88 square inches
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 88 square inches.
