The diagonal of a quadrilateral is 10 cm.The lengths of the perpendiculars drawnon this diagonal from opposite vertices are5 cm and 4 cm. The area of the quadrilateral is

Answer»

GIVEN :

  • DIAGONAL of the quadrilateral = 10 cm
  • Parallel sides = 5 cm and 4 cm

To find :

  • AREA of the quadrilateral

According to the question,

→ Area of quadrilateral = ½ × diagonal × sum of the length of the perpendicular sides

→ Area of quadrilateral = ½ × 10 × (5 + 4) cm²

→ Area of quadrilateral = 5 × (5 + 4) cm²

→ Area of quadrilateral = 5 × 9 cm²

→ Area of quadrilateral = 45 cm²

.°. Area of quadrilateral is 45 cm².
