The diagonal of a quadrilateral shaped field is 24 m and the perpendiculars dropped on it from the remaining opposite vertices are 8 m and 13 m. Find the area of the field.

Explanation

Area of quadrilateral
`= 1/2 × 24 m (13 m + 8 m)`
`= 1/2 × 24 m × 21 m`
`= 252 m²`
The area of the field is `252 m²`.
