    The area of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle whose side measures 36m, 77m, 75m and 40m respectively is:

    A)  \[2886\,{{m}^{2}}\]       

    B)  \[2196\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[3228\,{{m}^{2}}\]                       

    D)  \[2500\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

        Using the formula, Area of quadrilateral \[=\sqrt{(S-a)\,(S-b)\,(S-c)\,(S-d)}\] where\[a=36m,\]\[b=77\,m,\]\[c=75\,m,\]\[d=40\,m\] and\[S=\frac{a+b+c+d}{2}=\frac{36+77+75+40}{2}\] \[=114\] Hence, area of quadrilateral \[=\sqrt{(114-36)(114-77)(114-75)(114-40)}{{m}^{2}}\] \[=\sqrt{78\times 37\times 39\times 74}{{m}^{2}}\] \[=37\times 39\times 2\,{{m}^{2}}\] \[=2886\,{{m}^{2}}\]
