Question

Can anyone explain what is the meaning of 'distance of this diagonal from either of the outlying vertices is 10.8m' in the question below?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cytoplasm is a fluid that contains all the cell organelles such as the Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Golgi bodies, etc. It is present between the nucleus and the plasma membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The statement means that, the perpendicular distance from B to AC, that is BM is equal to the perpendicular distance from D to AC, that is DL and both of those are equal to 10.8m.

Area of the field $= 453.6 m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral have four vertices.  Two of them (A and C) are connected to form the said diagonal.  The other two vertices (B and D) are outlying either side of the diagonal AC.  The statement means that, the perpendicular distance from B to AC, that is BM is equal to the perpendicular distance from D to AC, that is DL and both of those are equal to 10.8m.

Now Area of the field = Area of ΔADC + Area of ΔABC

$= \frac{1}{2} . AC . DL + \frac{1}{2} . AC . BM = \frac{1}{2} . AC (DL + BM) = \frac{1}{2} . (42) . 2 . (10.8) m^2 = 42 times 10.8 m^2= 453.6m^2$
