Question

In the figure attached, the diagonals of the quadrilateral ABCD are perpendicular to each other.

If AC = 26 cm and BD = 20 cm, what is the area of the quadrilateral ABCD?

Answer 1

well for a quadrilateral for have perpendicular unequal diagonals its a rhombus

the area
\[A = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times y\]

where x and y are the lengths of the diagonals

Answer 2

Ohh... thanks.. I had doubt regarding the figure... as this doesn't look like a RHOMBUS..

Answer 3

well normally they would include the statement..." Not to scale" on the diagram

Answer 4

could be kite too, but area will be same

Answer 5

okay... :)
