Answer:
The quadrilateral ABCD can be divided into triangles ABC and ACD and hence the area of the quadrilateral is the sum of the areas of the two triangles.
Area of a triangle with vertices (x1,y1) ; (x2,y2) and (x3,y3) is ∣∣∣∣∣2x1(y2−y3)+x2(y3−y1)+x3(y1−y2)∣∣∣∣∣
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = area of triangle ABC + area of triangle ACD
area of △ABC=21[−3(−7+8)+(−2)(−8−5)+1(5+7)]
=21[35] sq. units
area of △ACD=21[−3(−8−3)+1(3−5)+6(5+8)]
=2
