उत्तर
Let ABCD be the given quadrilateral with vertices A (–4, 5), B (0, 7), C (5, –5), and D (–4, –2).
Then, by plotting A, B, C, and D on the Cartesian plane and joining AB, BC, CD, and DA, the given quadrilateral can be drawn as
To find the area of quadrilateral ABCD, we draw one diagonal, say AC.
Accordingly, area (ABCD) = area (ΔABC) + area (ΔACD)
We know that the area of a triangle whose vertices are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) is
`1/2 |x_1 (y_2 - y_3) + x_2 (y_3 - y_1) + x_3 (y_1 - y_2)|`
Therefore, area of ΔABC
= `1/2 |-4 (7 + 5) + 0 (-5 -5) +5 (5 - 7)| "unit"^2`
= `1/2 |-4 (12) + 5 (-2)| "unit"^2`
= `1/2 |-48 - 10| "unit"^2`
= `1/2 |-58| "unit"^2`
= `1/2 xx 58 "unit"^2`
= 29 unit2
Area of ΔACD
= `1/2 |-4 (-5 + 2) + 5 (-2 -5) + (-4) (5 + 5)| "unit"^2`
= `1/2 |-4 (-3) + 5 (-7) -4 (10)| "unit"^2`
= `1/2 |12 - 35 - 40| "unit"^2`
= = `1/2 |-63| "unit"^2`
= `63/2 "unit"^2`
Thus, area (ABCD) = `29 + 63/2 "unit"^2 = (58 + 63)/2 "unit"^2 = (121)/2 "unit"^2`
