Given:
The area of a quadrilateral is 28 sq units whose vertices are (-4,-2) (3,k) (3,-2) (2,3):
To find:
Find the value of k
Solution:
From given, we have,
The area of a quadrilateral is 28 sq units whose vertices are (-4,-2) (3,k) (3,-2) (2,3)
we use the formula,
Area of quadrilateral = 1/2 { (x1y2 + x2y3 + x3y4 + x4y1) - (x2y1 + x3y2 + x4y3 + x1y4)}
28 = 1/2 { [(-4 × k) + (3 × -2) + (3 × 3) + (2 × -2)] - [(3 × -2) + (3 × k) + (2 × -2) + (-4 × 3) ]}
upon solving, we get,
56 = -4k - 6 + 9 - 4 + 6 - 3k + 4 + 12
56 = -7k + 21
56 - 21 = -7k
35 = -7k
k = -5
Therefore, the value of k is -5.
