A park, in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD, has C = 90°, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m. How much area does it occupy? Q.1

First, construct a quadrilateral ABCD and join BD.
We know that
C = 90°, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m
The diagram is:
Now, apply Pythagoras theorem in ΔBCD
BD2 = BC2 +CD2
⇒ BD2 = 122+52
⇒ BD2 = 169
⇒ BD = 13 m
Now, the area of ΔBCD = (½ ×12×5) = 30 m2
The semi perimeter of ΔABD
(s) = (perimeter/2)
= (8+9+13)/2 m
= 30/2 m = 15 m
Using Heron’s formula,
Area of ΔABD
= 6√35 m2 = 35.5 m2 (approximately)
∴ The area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔBCD+Area of ΔABD
= 30 m2+35.5m2 = 65.5 m2
