Step-by-step explanation:Here, AB = 5 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 14 m and DA = 15 m  Join the diagonal AC. Now, area of △ABC = 1/2 x AB x BC  = 1/2 x 5 x 12 = 30  Area of △ABC is 30 M2  In △ABC, (RIGHT triangle).  From Pythagoras theorem,  AC2 = AB2 + BC2  AC2 = 52 + 122  AC2 = 25 + 144 = 169  or AC = 13  Now in △ADC,  All sides are know, APPLY Heron’s Formula: Where a, b and c are sides of a triangle. PERIMETER of △ADC = 2s = AD + DC + AC  2s = 15 m + 14 m + 13 m s = 21 m Area of △ADC = 84 m^2  Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of △ABC + Area of △ADC  = (30 + 84) m2  = 114 m^2Hope it helps!
