Quadrilaterals

Example 1. A city block is in the form of a parallelogram whose shorter

diagonal AB is perpendicular to side BC, as shown in the figure. The
shorter sides represent streets and the longer sides represent avenues. If
the distance between the avenues is 400ft and the length of each street is
500 ft, find the area of the block.
