According to the question,

In order to find the area of quadrilateral ABCD,

At first,

We will find the area of triangle ABD and triangle BCD respectively.

And, then we’ll add them.

Hence,

Area of ΔABD =

=

= 537.6 cm²

Area of ΔBCD =

=

= 422.4 cm²

Now,

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABD + Area of ΔBCD

= 537 + 422.4

= 960 cm²
