Step 1: Find the distance of the line that connects A to D by using the distance formula β[(xD - xA)^2 + (yD - yA)^2].
Step 2: Find the distance of the line that connects B to C by using the distance formula β[(xC - xB)^2 + (yC - yB)^2].
Step 3: Multiply the distances found in steps 1 and 2 to find the area of the shape.
The final answer is approximately (distance AD) multiplied by (distance BC).
