5 its simple draw the triangle marks its sides and try to construct it  so we get GD =3,DH=1,HC=2 This is because opposite sides of parrelogram are equal b join sides EH .,,, we can se a triangle lying on a parrelogram on equal side  THEORITICALLY,the area of this triangle will be half that of parralelogram  area of parrelogram AEHD IS 1/2*10=5    Soareaof triangle  GEH Is 2.5 //ly area of  triangle EFH =2.5    …..   FINALLY  Area of quadrilateral  EFGH IS   5 units
