The formula is bXh or base times height. if for instance you had a quadrilateral with a base that is 2 inches in length and is 3 inches high its area would be 6in2 .

Area of quadrilateral?

To find the area of a quadrilateral, multiply the length and width of the figure. The product will give you the area of the figure.


Facts about a trapezium?

A trapezium is a quadrilateral (has four sides). Two sides are parellel, but the other two are not. To find the area of it, the formula is: 1/2 h(a+b)


How many faces does Quadrilateral have?

A quadrilateral has 4 sides and 1 face which is its surface area.


How is the area enclosed by a quadrilateral calculated?

You can calculate the area of any quadrilateral by dividing it into two triangles and summing their areas. A triangle's area is found by multiplying the base by the half of the height (when height measured perpendicular to the base)


The rules of a cyclic Quadrilateral?

In geometry, a cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle. The vertices are said to be concyclic. In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary (their sum is π radians or 180°). Equivalently, each exterior angle is equal to the opposite interior angle. The area of a cyclic quadrilateral is given by Brahmagupta's formula as long as the sides are given. This area is maximal among all quadrilaterals having the same side lengths. Ptolemy's theorem expresses the product of the lengths of the two diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral as equal to the sum of the products of opposite sides. In any convex quadrilateral, the two diagonals together partition the quadrilateral into four triangles; in a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite pairs of these four triangles are similar to each other. Any square, rectangle, or isosceles trapezoid is cyclic. A kite is cyclic if and only if it has two right angles. ----Wikipedia
