Calculate Area of a Quadrilateral

Purpose

The function calculates the area of a quadrilateral shape based on the user input provided.

Use Cases

• Calculating the area of a rectangle
• Calculating the area of a square
• Calculating the area of a trapezoid
• Calculating the area of a general quadrilateral

How to Use

1. Enter the values for the parameters in the input fields provided.
2. Select the type of quadrilateral shape you want to calculate the area for.
3. Click on the calculate button to get the result.

Input Values

1. Side A: Length of side A of the quadrilateral
2. Side B: Length of side B of the quadrilateral
3. Side C: Length of side C of the quadrilateral
4. Side D: Length of side D of the quadrilateral
5. Angle A: Angle A of the quadrilateral
