Question 711330: Prove the following theorem:
If the diagonals of a convex quadrilateral are perpendicular to each other, then the area of the quadrilateral equals one-half the product of the lengths of the diagonals Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hint: Break up the quadrilateral into 4 right triangles. Find the area of each right triangle using the formula A = (b*h)/2 and then add up the individual areas to get the overall area for the quadrilateral.
