Final answer:
To find the area of quad ABCD, use the formula for the area of a quadrilateral and substitute the given coordinates. The area of quad ABCD is 25.6 square units. The statement is a. True.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of quad ABCD, we can use the formula for the area of a quadrilateral. Since the points A(-7,0), B(-3,5), C(2,1), and D(-2,4) form a quadrilateral, we can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * |(x1*y2 + x2*y3 + x3*y4 + x4*y1) - (x2*y1 + x3*y2 + x4*y3 + x1*y4)|
By substituting the x and y values, we get:
Area = (1/2) * |(-7*5 + -3*1 + 2*4 + -2*0) - (-3*0 + 2*5 + -2*1 + -7*4)|
= 25.6 square units.
Therefore, the statement is a. True.
