To determine the area of the quadrilateral, we need to calculate the area of the two triangles that make up the quadrilateral and then add them together.
Area of first triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 20 cm * 24 cm = 240 cm²
Area of second triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 20 cm * 10 cm = 100 cm²
Total area of the quadrilateral = 240 cm² + 100 cm² = 340 cm²
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 340 cm².
