Find the area of quadrilateral when diagonal and the perpendiculars to it from opposite vertices are given

Given three integers d, h1, h2 where d represents the length of the diagonal of a quadrilateral. h1 and h2 represents the lengths of the perpendiculars to the given diagonal from the opposite vertices. The task is to find the area of the Quadrilateral.
 



Examples: 
 

Input : d= 6, h1 = 4, h2 = 3 
Output : 21
Input : d= 10, h1 = 8, h2 = 10 
Output : 90 
 



 

Approach : 
Area of the quadrilateral is the sum of the areas of both triangles. We know that the area of the triangle is 1/2*base*height.
Therefore, the area of a quadrilateral can be calculated as : 
 

Area = 1/2 * d * h1 + 1/2 * d * h2 
= 1/2 * d * ( h1 + h2 ) 
 

Below is the implementation of the above approach : 
 




// C++ program to find the area of quadrilateral
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the area of quadrilateral
float Area(int d, int h1, int h2)
{
    float area;
 
    area = 0.5 * d * (h1 + h2);
 
    return area;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int d = 6, h1 = 4, h2 = 3;
 
    cout << "Area of Quadrilateral = " << (Area(d, h1, h2));
 
    return 0;
}




// Java program to find the area of quadrilateral
class GFG
{
 
    // Function to find the area of quadrilateral
    static float Area(int d, int h1, int h2)
    {
        float area;
 
        area = (float) 0.5 * d * (h1 + h2);
 
        return area;
    }
 
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int d = 6, h1 = 4, h2 = 3;
 
        System.out.println("Area of Quadrilateral = " +
                                      Area(d, h1, h2));
    }
}

def Area(d, h1, h2):
 
    area = 0.5 * d * (h1 + h2);
 
    return area;
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':
     
    d = 6;
    h1 = 4;
    h2 = 3;
 
    print("Area of Quadrilateral = ",
                  (Area(d, h1, h2)));

}

function Area(d, h1, h2)
{
    let area;
 
    area = 0.5 * d * (h1 + h2);
 
    return area;
}
 
// Driver code
 
    let d = 6, h1 = 4, h2 = 3;
 
    document.write("Area of Quadrilateral = " + (Area(d, h1, h2)));

Output: 
Area of Quadrilateral = 21
