Draw a line BE parallel to AD and draw a perpendicular BF on CD.

It can be observed that ABED is a parallelogram.

BE = AD = 13 m

ED = AB = 10 m

EC = 25 − ED = 15 m

For ΔBEC,

Semi-perimeter, 

By Heron’s formula,

Area of triangle

Area of ΔBEC 

m2= 84 m2

Area of ΔBEC 

 84 = 12 × 15 × BF BF = 16815 = 11.2 m⇒ 84 = 12 × 15 × BF⇒ BF = 16815 = 11.2 m

Area of ABED = BF × DE = 11.2 × 10 = 112 m2

Area of the field = 84 + 112 = 196 m2
