Question

In the given figure ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AC =24 cm ,BL perpendicular AC and DM perpendicular AC such that BL=8cm and DM=7 . find the area of the quadrilateral ABCD

Answer 1

The correct answer is 180 cm2

Answer 2

area of triangle adm = 1/2×b ×h

1/2×24×7=84sq cm

area of triangle abc = 1/2×b×h

=1/2×24×8=96sq cm

therefore area of quadrilateral abcd=a(adm)+a(abc)

=84+96

=180sqcm
