What kind of figure are we dealing with here? I'm assuming it's a triangle, but it could be anything really.

If it's a triangle, then use Heron's formula, with semiperimeter s = 13.

A+=+sqrt%28%2813%29%282%29%284%29%287%29%29

A+=+2sqrt%28182%29

However I have to assume that the figure is a triangle.
