What is the area of the quadrilateral with vertices A, B, C, and D?

(1) The perimeter of ABCD is equal to 16.

(2) Quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus.

Solution


Step 1: Analyse Question Stem


We need to find the area of ABCD.

Step 2: Analyse Statements Independently (And eliminate options) – AD/BCE


Statement 1: The perimeter of ABCD is equal to 16.
    • We don’t know the shape of ABCD.
    • o Thus, we can find the area of ABCD.
Hence, statement 1 is not sufficient, we can eliminate answer options A and D.
Statement 2: Quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus.
    • All the sides of the quadrilateral are equal.
    • o Area of ABCD = \(\frac{1}{2}\)* product of the diagonal of ABCDo We don’t know the product of diagonals.
Hence, statement 2 is also not sufficient, we can eliminate the answer options B.

Step 3: Analyse Statements by combining.


From statement 1: Perimeter = 16
From statement 2: Area of ABCD = \(\frac{1}{2}\)* product of the diagonal of ABCD
By combining the two statements we can find the length and breadth of ABCD but cannot find the length of the diagonals of ABCD because we don’t know the angles of ABCD.
Hence, the correct answer is Option E.

A rhombus can be a square or a rectangle hence both together are also not sufficient.
