Required Answer:-
A quadrilateral can be divided into two triangles and if you know how to calculate the areas of traingles, we can add them to get the area of the quadrilateral.
Here:
- Join the diagonal BD.
- We will get ∆DAB and ∆DBC
- ∆DAB is a right angled triangle whose perpendicular and base are given. So, we can find the area by 1/2 × base × height formula.
- ∆DBC is a scalene triangle whose all sides are given. We can use the √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) formula.
Let's start..
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ∆DAB + Area of ∆DBC
Area of ∆DAB:
= 1/2 × b × p
= 1/2 × 12 cm × 5 cm
= 30 cm²
Area of ∆DBC:
Here, s = (13 + 14 + 15)/2 cm = 21 cm
Putting the values in formula,
= √{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}
= √{21(21-13)(21-14)(21-15) cm²
= √(21 × 8 × 7 × 6) cm²
= √(3 × 7 × 2³ × 7 × 2 × 3) cm²
= 3 × 7 × 2² cm²
= 84 cm²
Hence,
Area of quadrilateral ABCD
= 30 cm² + 84 cm²
= 114 cm²
Note:-
- The diagonal BD is the hypotenuse of ∆DAB. Find the length using Pythagoras theorem.
- s is the semiperimeter i.e. perimeter/2.
- a,b,c in √{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} are the sides of the scalene triangle.

✴ How to Solve :
We will apply a diagonal BD .After the the figure will be divided into 2 adjacent triangles namely DAB and DCB . We will find the area of the both triangles and add them .We will get the Area of the Quadrilateral.
✴ Formula Used :
