The quadrilateral is a square and the area of square is 25 square units.
What is a quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is 2-dimensional geometric closed shape and a type of polygon that has four sides, four vertices and four angles. It is formed by joining four non-collinear points.
For the given situation,
The quadrilateral ABCD has points A(0,4), B(3,0), C(7,3), D(4,7).
The distance these points can be found by
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2} }[/tex]
AB = [tex]d=\sqrt{(3-0)^{2}+(0-4)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB = \sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB=\sqrt{9+16}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB=\sqrt{25}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB=5[/tex]
BC = [tex]d=\sqrt{(7-3)^{2}+(3-0)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]BC=\sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]BC=5[/tex]
CD = [tex]d=\sqrt{(4-7)^{2}+(7-3)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]CD=\sqrt{(-3)^{2} +4^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]CD=5[/tex]
DA = [tex]d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(7-4)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]DA=\sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]DA=5[/tex]
Since AB = BC = CD = DA, the quadrilateral is a square.
The formula of area of quadrilateral is
[tex]A=(side)^{2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]A=5^{2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]A=25[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the quadrilateral is a square and the area of square is 25 square units.
