Answer:
your answer is this,
Step-by-step explanation:
ABED is parallelogram,
⇒AD=BE=13 m
⇒AB=DE=10 m
⇒BC=14 m
⇒DC=DE+EC ....(∵D−E−C)
∴EC=25−10
∴EC=15 m
⇒In ΔBEC
⇒2S=13+14+15
⇒S=21 m
⇒Area of △BEC
⇒A=
s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
=
21(21−13)(21−14)(21−15)
=
21×8×7×6
=84 m
2
⇒Area of ΔBCE=
2
1
×BM×EC
⇒BM=
15
84×2
=11.2 cm
⇒Area of □ABED=11.2×10=112 m
2
⇒Area of the field □ABCD
=84+112 m
2
=196 m
