Answer:
Here, we will divide the quadrilateral in two triangles (using either of the diagonals), calculate the (positive value of) the areas of each triangle, and add these values to obtain the total area. In the following figure, quadrilateral ABCD has been divided into ΔABD and ΔADC.
Two triangles make a quadrilateral
Now, we separately calculate the areas of the two triangles.
Area of Triangle ABC:
= (1/2) |−3 × (4 − 2) + (−1) × (2 − 1) + 3 × (1 − 4)| = (1/2) |−6 −1 −9| = (1/2) × 16 = 8sq.units
Area of Triangle ACD:
= (1/2) |−3 × (−2 − 2) + 1 × (2 − 1) + 3 × (1−(−2))|
= (1/2)|12 + 1 + 9| = (1/2) × 22 = 11sq.units
Area of Quadrilateral ABCD:
Area(ABCD) = Area(ΔABC) + Area(ΔADC) = 8 + 11 = 19 sq.units
