Grade 7 - Mathematics
9.27 Area of Quadrilateral - I

  1. Example:
    In a quadrilateral ABCD, diagonal AC = 10 cm. The lengths of perpendiculars from B and C to AC are 6 cm and 7 cm respectively. Find the area of the quadrilateral.

    Solution:
    The area of a quadrilateral ABCD = 1/2 * d(h1+h2).
    Given that,
    d = 10 cm, h1 = 6 cm and h2 = 7 cm.
    So required area = 1/2 * 10 (6+7)
    = 1/2 * 10 * 13
    = 5 * 13
    = 65 sq.cm.

  2. Example:
    In a quadrilateral ABCD, the lengths of perpendiculars from B and C to AC are 6 cm and 4 cm respectively. Find the length of the diagonal if the area of the quadrilateral is given by 65 sq.cm.

    Solution:
    Let the length of the diagonal be 'x'.
    The area of a quadrilateral ABCD = 1/2 * d(h1+h2).
    Given that,
    h1 = 6 cm and h2 = 4 cm.
    i.e 65 = 1/2 * x (6+4),
    i.e 65 = 1/2 * x * 10,
    i.e 65 x 2 = 10x,
    i.e x = 130/10 = 13 cm.
    Hence the length of the diagonal is 13 cm.
