The area of the quadrilateral ABCD is given by Area of the bigger triangle - area of small triangle,
Area of the large triangle
=12×base×height=12×52×(2+3)=254,
The sides of the triangles are in proportion,
base=2, height =210×5=1,
Area of the small triangle =12×2×1=1
area of the quadrilateral ABCD =254−1=214
