Best Answer

For a general quadrilateral, the only way is to divide it into two triangles, calculate the area of each and add the two answers together.

To do this, you will require 5 pieces of information. These could be the lengths of the four sides and a diagonal, or four sides and any angle (other variations are possible).


Formulae involving "height" for example, assume that the quadrilateral has at least one pair of parallel sides. The quadrilateral need not have any parallel sides!

What is the total square footage of a lot with dimensions of 118'X121'X103'X139'?

It is not possible to answer the question. The fact that there are four lengths suggests that the lot is a shape in 4-dimensional hyperspace. In that case I not sure that a meaningful measure of the total square footage can be given. Al alternative is that these are the measures of the four sides of a quadrilateral. A quadrilateral is not a rigid shape. It can be flexed through infinitely many shapes - from a thin long shape to a near rectangle and the area will vary hugely according to the shape. It is, therefore. not possible to calculate the square footage.
