The shape of a farm is a quadrilateral. Measurements taken of the farm, by naming its corners as P, Q, R, S in order are as follows. l(PQ) = 170 m, l(QR) = 250m, l(RS) = 100 m, l(PS) = 240 m, l(PR) = 260 m.
Find the area of the field in a hectare (1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m)

In
PSR,
s =
= 300
Ar(
PSR) = ![]()
= ![]()
= ![]()
So, Ar(
PSR) = 12000 m2
In
PQR,
s =
= 340
Ar(
PQR) = ![]()
= ![]()
= ![]()
So, Ar(
PQR) = 20400 m2
Area of PQRS = Ar(
PSR) + Ar(
PQR)
= 12000 + 20400
Area of PQRS = 32400 m2
1 hectare = 10000 m2
1 m2 =
hectare
32400 m2 =
hectare
So, 32400 m2 = 3.24 hectare
