Chapter 12.6, Problem 60SPR

To determine

Calculate the area of the figure.

Answer to Problem 60SPR

The area is $20unit{s}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

It is given in the question that there is a quadrilateral WXYZ with the points $W(0,0),X(4,0),Y(5,5)\&(Z(1,5)$ .

Concept Used:

In this, use the concept of plotting the graph and the formula used will be $A=bh$ .

Calculation:

Since, plot the points in the graph and make a quadrilateral.

  

From the above it is seen that the base is $4$ and a height is $5$ .

So,

  $\begin{array}{l}A=bh\\ A=4\cdot 5\\ A=20unit{s}^2\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The area is $20unit{s}^2$ .
