The Area of A Quadrilateral Given A Square
In a square PQRS, point T is the midpoint of side QR. If the area of square PQRS is 3, what is the area of quadrilateral PQTS?
area = 1/2 base * height
Side QR = 1.737
Side RS = 1.737
TR = .8685
area = 1/2(1.737) * .8685 = .25
The area of the triangle = .25
3 - .25 = 2.75
The area of quadrilateral PQTS = 2.75
Is my answer right?

Homework Equations
area = 1/2 base * height
The Attempt at a Solution
Side QR = 1.737
Side RS = 1.737
TR = .8685
area = 1/2(1.737) * .8685 = .25
The area of the triangle = .25
3 - .25 = 2.75
The area of quadrilateral PQTS = 2.75
