Answer:

The area is 24

Explanation:

Divide the quadrilateral into 4 triangles (two identical at the top and two identical at the bottom).

Then find the area of each triangle and add it all together

Area of Triangle= (base x height)/2

(3 x 3)/2 + (3 x 3)/2 + (5 x 3)/2 + (5 x 3)/2

this equation gives us 24 as the area
