Question

15. The diagonal of a quadrilateral shaped field is 24m and the perpendiculars
dropped on it from the remaining opposite vertices 8m and 13m. Find the area of
the field.​

Answer 1

Area of Trapezium

`=1/2xx` sum of parallel sides `xx` perpendicular distance

Parallel sides = 1 and 1.2 m

And perpendicular distance = 0.8 m

So, Area `=1/2xx(1+1.2)xx0.8`

`=1.1xx0.8=0.88` sq m
