Question

Which of the following statements is true with respect to the given figure?

• A. Area of Quadrilateral ABCD $=B{D}_1\times h_1$.
• B. $h_1$ is the height of quadrilateral.
• C. Heron's formula for area of a quadrilateral can be used.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Option A: The given formula is for the area of the parallelogram but the given figure does not look like a parallelogram. Hence, not true.

Option B: From the given figure, we can say that $h_1$ is the height of the quadrilateral. Hence, true.

Option C: Since the lengths of the sides of the quadrilateral are not know, Heron's formula cannot be used. Hence, not true
