Question

In the given figure ABCD is quadrilateral in which diagonal BD = 24 cm, AL ⊥ BD and CM ⊥ BD such that AL = 9cm and CM = 12 cm. Calculate the area of the quadrilateral.

Answer 1

We have,

BD = 24cm, AL = 9cm, CM = 12cm, \(AL \perp BD\) and \(CM \perp BD\)

So, the area of the quadrilateral ABCD is 252 cm².
