Given, a quadrilateral ABCD with ZC = 90°, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m.
Let us join B and D, such that ABCD is a right angled triangle.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A1
Now, to find the area of ∆ABD, we need the length of BD.
In right-angled ∆BCD, by Pythagoras theorem
BD2 = 502 + CD2
⇒ BD2 = 122 + 52
⇒ BD2 = 144 + 25 = 169
⇒ BD = 13 m
Now, for ∆ABD, we have
a = AB = 9 m, b = AD = 8 m, c = BD = 13 m
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A1a
∴ Area of quadrilateral ABCD = area of ∆BCD + area of ∆ABD = 30 m2 + 35.5 m2
= 65.5 m2 (approx.)
Ex 12.2 Class 9 Maths Question 2.

It is a trapezium whose parallel sides are 1 cm and 2 cm as shown in the figure given below:
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A3b
For surface IV and V:
Surface V is a right-angled triangle with base 6cm arid height 1.5 cm.
Also, area of surface IV = area of surface V
\frac { 1 }{ 2 } x base x height
= (\frac { 1 }{ 2 } x 6 x 15) cm2 = 4.5 cm2
Thus, the total area of the paper used = (area of surface I) + (area of surface II) + (area of surface III) + (area of surface IV) + (area of surface V) = [2.475 + 6.5 + 1.3 + 4.5 + 4.5] cm2
= 19.275 cm2
= 19.3 cm2 (approx.)
Ex 12.2 Class 9 Maths Question 4.
A triangle and a parallelogram have the same base and the same area. If the sides of the triangle are 26 cm, 28 cm and 30 cm, and the parallelogram stands on the base 28 cm, find the height of the parallelogram
Solution:
For the given triangle, we have a = 28 cm, b = 30 cm, c = 26 cm
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A4
Area of the given parallelogram = Area of the given triangle
∴ Area of the parallelogram = 336 cm2
⇒ base x height = 336
⇒ 28 x h = 336, where ‘h’ be the height of the parallelogram.
⇒ h = \frac { 336 }{ 28 } = 12
Thus, the required height of the parallelogram = 12 cm
Ex 12.2 Class 9 Maths Question 5.
A rhombus shaped field has green grass for 18 cows to graze. If each side of the rhombus is 30 m and its longer diagonal is 48 m, how much area of grass field will each cow be getting?
Solution:
Here, each side of the rhombus = 30 m.
Let ABCD be the given rhombus and the diagonal, BD = 48 m
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A5
Sides ∆ABC are a = AB = 30m, b = AD = 30m, c = BD = 48m
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A5a
Since, a diagonal divides the rhombus into two congruent triangles.
∴ Area of triangle II = 432 m2
Now, total area of the rhombus = Area of triangle I + Area of triangle II
= 432 m2 + 432 m2= 864 m2
Area of grass for 18 cows to graze = 864 m2
⇒ Area of grass for 1 cow to graze = \frac { 864 }{ 18 } m2
= 48 m2

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A7
8 cm
For triangle I:
ABCD is a square [Given]
∵ Diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other.
∴ AC = BD = 32 cm
Height of AABD = OA = (\frac { 1 }{ 2 } x 32 )cm
= 16 cm
Area of triangle I = (\frac { 1 }{ 2 } x 32 x 16 ) cm2
= 256cm2
For triangle II:
Since, diagonal of a square divides it into two congruent triangles.
So, area of triangle II = area of triangle I
∴ Area of triangle II = 256 cm2
For triangle III:
The sides are given as a = 8 cm, b = 6 cm and c = 6 cm
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A7a

The given field is divided into two shapes (i) ∆BCE, (ii) parallelogram ABED For ∆BCE:
Sides of the triangle are a = 13 m, b = 14 m, c = 15 m
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A9a
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula Ex 12.2 A9b
(ii) For parallelogram ABED:
Let the height of the ∆BCE corresponding to the side EC be h m.
Area of a triangle = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } x base x height
∴ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } x 15 x h = 84
⇒ (10 + \frac { 82\times 2 }{ 15 } = \frac { 56 }{ 5 }
Now, area of a parallelogram = base x height
= (10 x \frac { 56 }{ 5 }) = (2 x 56) m2 = 112 m2
So, area of the field
= area of ∆BCE + area of parallelogram ABED
= 84 m2 + 112 m2 = 196 m2
