Question

Find the area of Pentagon ABCDE in which BL perpendicular to AC, CM perpendicular to AD, EN perpendicular to AD such that AC = 8 cm, AD = 12 cm, BL = 4 cm, CM = 6 cm and EN =5cm.​

Answer 1

Area ABCDE = 82 cm²

Explanation:

ABCDE = ΔEAD + ΔDAC + ΔCAB

ABCDE = (12×5)/2 + (12×6)/2 + (8×4)/2 = 30+36+16 = 82
