Question

The diagonal of quadrilateral shape field is 48 m and the perpendiculars dropped on it from the remaining opposite vertices are 10 m and 14 m.Find the area of the field.

Answer 1

Answer: Area of the field

= Area of upper triangle + Area of Lower triangle

=1/2X13X24+1/2X8X24

=156+96=252 sq m

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

1380 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

WKT, the diagonal of a quadrilateral divides the quadrilateral into 2 triangles.

So the base of the 2 triangles will be the diagonal.

The height will be the distances 27 and 19 m as they are the perpendiculars.

So after using the formula ½ × base × height

and adding the 2 areas. We will get the area quadrilateral as 1380 m²
