Find the area of quadrilateral $ABCD$ . Round the area to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

A trapezoid A B C D is plotted on a coordinate plane. A D represents the longer base and B C represents the shorter base. Vertex A lies at ordered pair negative 5 comma 4. Vertex B lies at ordered pair 0 comma 3. Vertex C lies at ordered pair 4 comma negative 1. Vertex D lies at ordered pair 4 comma negative 5. A line is drawn from vertex B and intersects line A D at point F plotted at ordered pair negative 2 comma 1. A line is drawn from vertex C and intersects the line A D at point E plotted at ordered pair 2 comma negative 3.
