Question from Joel, a student: Diagonal ac of quadrilateral ABCD is 60cm and the lengths of perpendiculars to |
Hi Joel,
Is this for a convex quadrilateral? If so then here is my diagram.
$BE$ and $DF$ are perpendicular to $AC$ and $BE$ has length 5.8 cm and $DF$ has length 4.2 cm.
The area of the quadrilateral $ABCD$ is the sum of the areas of the triangles $ABC$ and $ACD.$ What are the areas of the triangles $ABC$ and $ACD?$
