1)  

 The area of a quadrilateral is 40 sq. m . The perpendiculars from two opposite vertices to the diagonal are 6 m and 9 m. what is the length of this diagonal

Answer: 5.3333333333333m


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

Area of the quadrilateral    =   40 m2

                                   h1        =  6 m 

                                   h2        =   9 m

 Area of the quadrilateral   =   12 x d x (h1+h2) sq units

                                   40       =   12 x d x (6+9)

                                       40    = 12 x d x 15

                    (2 x 40)15       =      d

                          5.3333333333333   m            =      d
