Answer:
area of quadrilateral ABCD = area of ABC+ACD
area of ABC by herons formula
AB= 7; BC=6; AC=9 [GIVEN]
s = 7+6+9 / 2 = 22/2 = 11
area of ABC = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
= √11(11-7)(11-6)(11-9)
= √11×4×5×2
= √440
=
similarly area of ACD
AC=9; AD=15; CD=12 [as given]
s = 9+15+12 / 2 = 36/2 = 18
area of ACD = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
= √18(18-9)(18-15)(18-12)
= √18×9×3×6
= √18×9×18
=√ 18²×3²
= 18×3=54
area of the quadrilateral = 54+√440
= 20.97+54
= 74.97cm²
