First, construct a diagram with the given parameter.
Now, apply Pythagorean theorem in ΔABC,
AC2 = AB2+BC2
⇒ 52 = 32+42
⇒ 25 = 25
Thus, it can be concluded that ΔABC is a right angled at B.
So, area of ΔBCD = (½ ×3×4) = 6 cm2
The semi perimeter of ΔACD (s) = (perimeter/2) = (5+5+4)/2 cm = 14/2 cm = 7 m
Now, using Heron’s formula,
Area of ΔABD
= 2√21 cm2 = 9.17 cm2 (approximately)
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔABD = 6 cm2 +9.17 cm2 = 15.17 cm2
