Solution
Given that, a quadrilateral ABCD in which AD = 24 cm, ∠BAD = 90°
BCD is equilateral triangle and sides BC = CD = BD = 26 cm
In ΔBAD By using Pythagoras theorem
`BA^2=BD^2-AD^2`
`⇒BA=sqrt(BD^2-AD^2)`
`=sqrt(676-576)`
`sqrt(100)=10cm`
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 Δ𝐵𝐴𝐷=`1/2`×𝐵𝐴×𝐴𝐷
=`1/2`×10×24
=`120cm^2`
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 Δ𝐵𝐶𝐷=`sqrt(a)/4xx(26)^2=292.37cm^2`
∴𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙
ABCD = Area of ΔBAD + area of ΔBCD
= 120 + 292.37
= 412.37 `cm^2`
