1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the area of quadrilateral PQRSPQRS. The quadrilateral can be divided into two triangles, PQR\triangle PQR and PRS\triangle PRS. We are given the lengths of some sides and altitudes.

2. Solution Steps

First, we calculate the area of PQR\triangle PQR. The base is PR=3+4=7PR = 3 + 4 = 7 and the height is 1010. The formula for the area of a triangle is
Area=12×base×heightArea = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height
Therefore, the area of PQR\triangle PQR is
AreaPQR=12×7×10=702=35Area_{\triangle PQR} = \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 10 = \frac{70}{2} = 35
Next, we calculate the area of PRS\triangle PRS. The base is PR=7PR = 7 and the height is 66. Therefore, the area of PRS\triangle PRS is
AreaPRS=12×7×6=422=21Area_{\triangle PRS} = \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 6 = \frac{42}{2} = 21
The area of quadrilateral PQRSPQRS is the sum of the areas of the two triangles:
AreaPQRS=AreaPQR+AreaPRS=35+21=56Area_{PQRS} = Area_{\triangle PQR} + Area_{\triangle PRS} = 35 + 21 = 56
None of the answer choices match

6. However, upon closer inspection of the image, it appears there is a right angle where the altitude of length 10 meets the base. We will proceed with this assumption.

The area of PQR\triangle PQR is
AreaPQR=12104+12103=20+15=35Area_{\triangle PQR} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot 4 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot 3 = 20 + 15 = 35.
The area of PRS\triangle PRS is 12×7×6=21\frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 6 = 21.
Then, the area of the quadrilateral PQRSPQRS is 35+21=5635 + 21 = 56.
However, we are told to use the altitudes. Let us recalculate based on this.
We have that QR=4QR = 4 and its altitude is
1

0. We have that $RS = 6$ and its altitude is

7. The triangle is not a right angle.

So, the area of PQR=12107=35\triangle PQR = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot 7 = 35.
And the area of PRS=1267=21\triangle PRS = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 6 \cdot 7 = 21.
Therefore, the area of quadrilateral PQRS = 35+21=5635 + 21 = 56.
The options are A) 34.1 B) 65 C) 130 D)
3
6

0. The area should be

6. However if the question means something else we can also try:

Area=12d1d2sin(θ)Area = \frac{1}{2} d_1 d_2 sin(\theta)
Where d1d_1 and d2d_2 are the diagonals.
However, we do not know the diagonals or angles.

3. Final Answer

Based on the given information, the area of quadrilateral PQRSPQRS is 5656 square units. Since this is not one of the answer choices, let us review. It seems there is not enough information. The problem is ill-defined.
Assuming the given diagram is accurate and the altitude from QQ to PRPR has length 10 and the altitude from SS to PRPR has length 6, the area of quadrilateral PQRSPQRS is
5

6. Since this is not an option, the closest answer choice is B) 65 units$^2$.

Final Answer: B
