Area of quadrilateral = 1/2 × diagonal × ( sum of perpendicular on the diagonal )
let the perpendicular be 4x and 5x
486 = 1/2 × 36 × (4x+5x)
486 = 18 × 9x
486-18 = 9x
468/9. = X
X = 52
perpendiculars are 4x = 4 × 52 = 208 m
5x = 5 × 52 = 260 m

Let the perpendicular on the diagonal be as 4x and 5x
area of quad. farm=1/2×36×(4x+5x)
486m square =18×9x
486/18 = 9x
27=9x
x= 27/9=3
therefore,
4x=4×3=12
and
5x= 5×3=15
