what is area of quadrilateral which side of 164 feet, 208 feet, 495 feet, and 581 feet

To find the area of a quadrilateral when the side lengths are given, you can use **Brahmagupta's formula**. This formula is applicable for a cyclic quadrilateral (a quadrilateral where all vertices lie on a common circle). However, if the quadrilateral is not cyclic, the calculation would be more complex and may require additional information like angles or diagonals.

Brahmagupta's formula for the area \( A \) of a cyclic quadrilateral with sides \( a \), \( b \), \( c \), and \( d \) is given by:

\[
A = \sqrt{(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)(s - d)}
\]

where \( s \) is the semiperimeter of the quadrilateral:

\[
s = \frac{a + b + c + d}{2}
\]

Given the sides \( a = 164 \) feet, \( b = 208 \) feet, \( c = 495 \) feet, and \( d = 581 \) feet:

1. First, calculate the semiperimeter \( s \):

\[
s = \frac{164 + 208 + 495 + 581}{2} = \frac{1448}{2} = 724 \text{ feet}
\]

2. Now, use Brahmagupta's formula to calculate the area:

\[
A = \sqrt{(724 - 164)(724 - 208)(724 - 495)(724 - 581)}
\]

\[
A = \sqrt{(560)(516)(229)(143)}
\]

Let's calculate this step by step:

\[
A = \sqrt{560 \times 516 \times 229 \times 143}
\]

Finally, we'll compute the area. 

Let me do that.The area of the quadrilateral with sides 164 feet, 208 feet, 495 feet, and 581 feet is approximately **97,276 square feet**.
