Solution

To find the area of the quadrilateral with coordinates (3, 4), (4, 2), (1, 4), and (6, 2), we can use the Shoelace Formula.

Step 1: Write down the coordinates in a clockwise order: (3, 4), (4, 2), (1, 4), (6, 2), (3, 4)

Step 2: Multiply the x-coordinate of each point by the y-coordinate of the next point, and subtract the product of the y-coordinate of each point by the x-coordinate of the next point. Add up all these values.

(3 * 2) - (4 * 4) = -10 (4 * 4) - (1 * 2) = 14 (1 * 2) - (6 * 4) = -22 (6 * 4) - (3 * 2) = 18

Step 3: Take the absolute value of the sum and divide it by 2 to get the area.

|(-10 + 14 - 22 + 18)| / 2 = 20 / 2 = 10

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 10 square units.
