Not really, but that depends on what your definition of easy is. Try to divide the irregular quadrilateral into smaller regular pieces -- triangles and squares. You should be able to divide the shape into one square and two triangles. Then you can determine their areas and find the sum.

How do you calculate a parimeter?
That would be "perimeter". The perimeter is the distance around a figure, and it is calculated by adding the lengths of the different sides. For example, for a triangle, add the lengths of the three sides.
What are the lengths of the sides of an obtuse triangle?
The 3 sides have different lengths
Can you calculate the area of a parallelogram when lengths of its four sides are given?
No. The information is not sufficient to determione the area. You can "squash" the parrallelogram and so reduce its area at will.
What is the mathematical name given to a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of opposite sides equal but diaonals of different lengths?
This is a parallelogram.
What polygon has three sides of different lengths?
If it has no right angle then a scalene triangle would fit the given description

What are the objectives of trigonometry?
The objectives are to calculate the lengths of sides and angular displacements of a triangle when given some other measures.
What is history of theodolite?
From geometry, we know that it is possible to calculate unknown lengths and angles of a triangle given particular information regarding the other angles and lengths of the sides of a triangle. For example, given beginning coordinates such as (x,y) in plane coordinates or the latitude and longitude, it is then possible to calculate new coordinates by measuring certain angles and distances (lengths of sides of a triangle).

Lengths of a scalene triangle sides?
All three sides have different lengths.
What is a shape called with three sides that are all different lengths?
The description given fits that of a scalene triangle.
What shape has four sides of two different lengths?
A parallelogram or a rectangle would fit the given description
