1. **Problem Statement:**
Two non-congruent circles have centers at $C_1$ and $C_2$. Diameter $\overline{AB}$ of circle $C_1$ and diameter $\overline{CD}$ of circle $C_2$ are perpendicular to $\overline{C_1C_2}$. Given $\overline{C_1C_2} = 10$, find the area of the quadrilateral determined by points $A, B, C,$ and $D$.
2. **Understanding the problem:**
- $C_1C_2$ is the segment connecting the centers of the two circles, length 10.
- $AB$ is a diameter of circle $C_1$, so $A$ and $B$ lie on circle $C_1$ and $AB$ passes through $C_1$.
- $CD$ is a diameter of circle $C_2$, so $C$ and $D$ lie on circle $C_2$ and $CD$ passes through $C_2$.
- Both diameters $AB$ and $CD$ are perpendicular to $C_1C_2$.
3. **Set up coordinate system:**
Place $C_1$ at the origin $(0,0)$ and $C_2$ at $(10,0)$ on the x-axis.
4. **Coordinates of points:**
- Since $AB$ is perpendicular to $C_1C_2$ (x-axis), $AB$ lies along the y-axis through $C_1$.
- Let radius of circle $C_1$ be $r_1$. Then $A = (0, r_1)$ and $B = (0, -r_1)$.
- Similarly, $CD$ is perpendicular to $C_1C_2$, so $CD$ lies along the y-axis through $C_2$.
- Let radius of circle $C_2$ be $r_2$. Then $C = (10, r_2)$ and $D = (10, -r_2)$.
5. **Quadrilateral $ABCD$ vertices:**
$A = (0, r_1)$, $B = (0, -r_1)$, $C = (10, r_2)$, $D = (10, -r_2)$.
6. **Area of quadrilateral $ABCD$:**
The quadrilateral is a trapezoid with vertical sides $AB$ and $CD$.
The bases are the segments $AB$ and $CD$ (both vertical), and the distance between them is $10$ (distance between $C_1$ and $C_2$).
Length of $AB = 2r_1$ and length of $CD = 2r_2$.
Area formula for trapezoid:
$$\text{Area} = \frac{(\text{sum of parallel sides})}{2} \times \text{distance between them}$$
So,
$$\text{Area} = \frac{2r_1 + 2r_2}{2} \times 10 = (r_1 + r_2) \times 10$$
7. **Finding $r_1 + r_2$:**
Since the circles are non-congruent and only the length $C_1C_2=10$ is given, the problem implies the quadrilateral formed by $A,B,C,D$ is a rectangle with sides $10$ and $r_1 + r_2$.
But we need more info to find $r_1 + r_2$. However, since $AB$ and $CD$ are diameters perpendicular to $C_1C_2$, the quadrilateral $ABCD$ is a rectangle with width $10$ and height $r_1 + r_2$.
8. **Key insight:**
The quadrilateral $ABCD$ is a rectangle with vertices at $(0, r_1), (0, -r_1), (10, r_2), (10, -r_2)$.
The height of the rectangle is $r_1 + r_2$.
9. **Using the fact that the circles are non-congruent:**
Since the circles are non-congruent, $r_1 \neq r_2$.
10. **Final step:**
The problem does not provide $r_1$ or $r_2$ explicitly, but the quadrilateral area is:
$$\text{Area} = 10 (r_1 + r_2)$$
Since $AB$ and $CD$ are diameters, the length of $AB$ is $2r_1$ and length of $CD$ is $2r_2$.
The quadrilateral $ABCD$ is a rectangle with sides $10$ and $r_1 + r_2$.
**Answer:**
$$\boxed{10 (r_1 + r_2)}$$
Without additional information about the radii, this is the expression for the area of the quadrilateral determined by $A, B, C,$ and $D$.
