Answer:
Given :
Area of quadrilateral ABCD= 342 m²
BE= 12 m , DF= 12 m
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral & AC be one of its diagonal.
BE perpendicular AC & DF perpendicular AC
Area of quadrilateral ABCD= ar∆ABC + ar∆ADC
Area of quadrilateral ABCD= 1/2×AC×BE + 1/2×AC×DF
342= 1/2AC(BE+DF)
342 = 1/2×AC (12+12)
342×2= 24AC
AC= (342×2)/24
AC = 342/12= 28.5 m
Hence, the length of the diagonal is 28.5 m
