Drop a perpendicular from A to B C at point P . Next, drop a perpendicular from D to B C at point Q . Finally, draw a line parallel to B C through D , and let R be the point of intersection of this line and A P .
Then the area of the quadrilateral A B C D is the sum of the areas of triangles Δ A B P , Δ D Q C , Δ A R D and the rectangle R P Q D . Looking at these areas separately, we have:
(i) Area Δ A B P = 2 1 ∗ ( 4 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) ( 4 cos ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) = 4 sin ( 1 5 0 ∘ ) = 2
(ii) Area Δ D Q C = 2 1 ( 3 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) ( 3 cos ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) = 4 9 sin ( 1 5 0 ∘ ) = 8 9
(iii) Area Δ A R D = 2 1 ( A R ) ( R D ) = 2 1 ( A R ) ( P Q ) =
2 1 ( ( 4 − 3 ) sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) ( 8 − ( 4 + 3 ) cos ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) =
2 1 ( 8 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) − 7 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) cos ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) =
4 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) − 4 7 sin ( 1 5 0 ∘ ) = 4 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) − 8 7
(iv) Area rectangle R P Q D = ( R P ) ( P Q ) = 3 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) ( 8 − 7 cos ( 7 5 ∘ ) ) =
2 4 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) − 2 2 1 sin ( 1 5 0 ∘ ) = 2 4 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) − 4 2 1 .
Adding these areas together gives us the area of A B C D to be
2 + 8 9 − 8 7 − 4 2 1 + 2 8 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) = 2 8 sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) − 3 .
Now sin ( 7 5 ∘ ) = sin ( 4 5 ∘ + 3 0 ∘ ) = 2 2 ( 2 1 + 2 3 ) = 4 2 + 6 .
Thus the final area calculation is 7 6 + 7 2 − 3 .
