Question

Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD in which ab=3 cm , bc=4 cm , cd=5 cm , da=5 cm and ac= 5 cm

Answer 1

Area of Quadrilateral = ar of ∆ABC + ar of ∆ADC

Area of ∆ABC ::•• •●

heron's formula

= \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\

{where, s is semi perimeter}

s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \\ \: = \frac{3 + 4 + 5}{2 } \\ = \frac{12}{2} \\ = 6

area of ∆ABC

= \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\ = \sqrt{6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)} \\ = \sqrt{6 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 } \: {cm}^{2} \\ = \sqrt{6 \times 6} \: {cm}^{2} \\ = 6 {cm}^{2}

Area of∆ADC ::•• •●

= \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\ \: s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \\ \frac{5 + 4 + 5}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7cm \\ \\ ar \: of \: triangle \: \\ = \sqrt{7(7 - 5)(7 - 4)(7 - 5)} \\ = \sqrt{7 \times 2 \times 3 \times 2} \\ = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 7 \times 3} \\ = 2\sqrt{21} \\ = 2 \times 4.58 = 9.16 {cm}^{2}

::::::::::::::::::::::: ◆

Area of Quadrilateral = ar of ∆ABC + ar of ∆ADC

= 6 + 9.16 \\ = 15.16 {cm}^{2} \\ = 15.2 {cm}^{2} \: (approx.)

So the Area of Quadrilateral ABCD = 15.2cm .sq
