find the area of the following quadrilaterals
Answers
Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) First we will divide this quadrilateral into two triangles that is triangle ABC and triangle ADC
Area of triangle ABC + Area of triangle ADC = Area of quadrilateral ABCD
=> ( 1/2 × 6 × 3 ) + ( 1/2 × 6 × 5 ) = 9 + 15 = 24 cm²
(ii) This shape is a rhombus because all sides are equal here and intersection angles of diagonals are 90°.
We have been given half the length of one diagonal and half the length of the other diagonal so,
Area of the rhombus = 1/2 × product of diagonals
= 1/2 × (7+7) × (6+6) = 1/2 × 14 × 12 = 84 cm²
(iii) The third shape is a parallelogram. We can see it has two equal opposite and parallel sides. A diagonal is dividing it into two congruent triangles of equal area.
So,
Area of the parallelogram = 2 × (1/2 × 8 × 2) = 2 × 8 = 16 cm²
