Let us first consider 1 quadrilateral In this figure, there is only 1 quadrilateral
Let us consider 2 quadrilaterals In this figure there are 4 quadrilaterals
Let us consider 3 quadrilaterals In this figure there are 9 quadrilaterals.
Let us consider 4 quadrilaterals In this figure there are 1 6 quadrilaterals.
Let us consider 5 quadrilaterals. In this figure there are 2 5 quadrilaterals.
So, we observe, the number of quadrilaterals, in each case is the s q u a r e of the number of quadrilaterals on the same base. For example, in case 2, there are 2 quadrilaterals on the same base. So, the total number of quadrilaterals are 2 2 = 4 .
So, in the given figure(question) there are 11 quadrilaterals on the same base. So, the total number of quadrilateral are 1 1 2 = 1 2 1 Hope you like the solution :-)
