Correct Answer: 252 m 2


Solution :
Given, the length of the diagonal, $d$ = 24 m
Heights of perpendicular, $h_1$ and $h_2$, are 8 m and 13 m
Area of given quadrilateral = $\frac{1}{2}\times d\times h_1+\frac{1}{2}\times d\times h_2$
= $\frac{1}{2}\times 24\times (8+13)$
= 252 m 2
Hence, the correct answer is 252 m 2 .
