Question

What is the area of the quadrilateral?

1
2 m
8 mi
2 m
12 m2
16 m2
32 m2
O
24 m2

Answer 1

Area of quadrilateral = 16 m²

Explanation:

Given:

Height of quadrilateral = 8 m

Length of perpendicular on diagonal = 2 m

Find:

Area of quadrilateral

Computation:

We know that, Diagonal divides quadrilateral into two equal triangle

So,

Area of quadrilateral = 2[Area of triangle]

Area of quadrilateral = 2[(1/2)(b)(h)]

Area of quadrilateral = 2[(1/2)(8)(2)]

Area of quadrilateral = 2[(4)(2)]

Area of quadrilateral = 2[8]

Area of quadrilateral = 16 m²
