  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:

    Ncert solutions class 9 chapter 12-9

    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

    Ncert solutions class 9 chapter 12-10

    = 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
