Answer:

180m^2

Explanation:

since you said that two sides measure 12 and 17 and the diagonal is 25 you can use herons formula to find the area of each individual triangle then multiply it by two

using heron's formula it gives us the answer of 90 m^2 for one triangle so we can multiply it by two to get the area of the whole shape and 90x2=180m^2

Answer:

The area of the land can be found using the formula A = 1/2*D1*D2, where D1 and D2 are the diagonals of the parallelogram. In this case, the area is 1/2*25*12 = 150m^2.
