Question

Find the area of quadrilateral if pr=12cm,sn=8cm,and qm=6cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:using Pythagoras theorem

QR2=qm2+mr2

(6*6)=(x*x)+(x*x)

36=x2+x2

36=2x2

36/2=x2

18=x2

3underroot 2=x

QM = 4 cm  if pr=12cm, qr=6cm and pl=8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

PR = 12 cm

PL = 8 cm

RL²  = PR² -PL²

=> RL² = 12² - 8²

=> RL² = 144 - 64

=> RL² = 80

=> RL = 4√5 cm

Area of ΔPLR = (1/2) * 8 * 4√5  = 16√5  cm²

LQ = LR - RQ = 4√5 - 6

Area of Δ PLQ = (1/2) 8 * (4√5 - 6)

= 16√5 - 24 cm²

Area of ΔPQR = Area of ΔPLR  - Area of Δ PLQ

=> Area of ΔPQR = 16√5  - (16√5 - 24)  = 24 cm²

Area of ΔPQR = (1/2) * PR * QM  = (1/2) * 12 * QM

= 6 QM

6 QM = 24

=> QM = 4 cm

Another method

Area of Δ PQR  = (1/2) * QR * PL  = (1/2) PR * QM

=> 6 * 8 = 12 * QM

=> QM = 4 cm

Answer 2

4CM ans I think it helpful to
