Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
because all irregular quadrilaterals are different, we don't have a nice universal formula that we can use for all of them. When it comes to finding the area of an irregular quadrilateral that doesn't have a known area formula, a good strategy is to use the following steps:
Split the quadrilateral into two triangles by drawing in a diagonal.
Use various formulas and properties to find the area of each of the triangles.
Add up the areas of the triangles.
That sounds easy enough, but it can be a bit involved. Let's consider an example of this.
