Answer -
Area of quadrilateral = 396 cm²
Explanation -
Area of the quadrilateral is given by -
Area of quadrilateral = 1/2 × diagonal × sum of altitudes
Area of quadrilateral = 1/2 × 36 × (10 + 12)
Area of quadrilateral = 18 × 22
Area of quadrilateral = 396 cm²
Hence, area of the quadrilateral shaped field is 396 cm²
