Question

the diagonal of a quadrilateral shaped field is 24 M and perpendicular drawn on it from opposite vertices are at 8 M and 13 M find the area of the field

Answer 1

the diagonal divides the quad into 2 parts

2 altitude are given

area of one triangle=24*1/2*8=96 sq.units..........1

area of second triangle=24*1/2*13=156 sq units..............2

area of quad=.....1+.....2=96+156=252

ans=256 sq units
