Given : - Square ABCD with side 3.  E and F as midpoints.
To find : - area of EBFD

Solution : - We have, area of square ABCD = 3 x 3 = 9 units.

Thus, (ar)EBFD = ar ABCD - ar DAE - arDCF

arDAE = 1/2 x base x height

=1/2 x 1.5 x 3 ( AE is 1/2 of AB = 1.5, DA is altitude)
= 2.25

arDFC = 1/2 x base x height 
= 1/2 x 1.5 x 3 (FC is 1/2 of BC, DC is altitude)
= 2.25

Thus, (ar) EBFD = arABCD - arDAE - arDCF

= 9 - 2.25 - 2.25

= 4.5 units.

Thus, area of quad EBFD is 4.5 units.
