(i) Jyoti’s way of finding the area is as follows:
Area of pentagon ABCDE = Area of trapezium ABCF + Area of trapezium AEDF
\(= \frac{1}{2} × (AF + BC) × FC + \frac{1}{2} × (AF + ED) × DF\)
\(= \frac{1}{2} × (30 m + 15 m) × \frac{15}{2} m + \frac{1}{2} × (30 + 15 m) × \frac{15}{2} m\)
\(= 2 × \frac{1}{2} (30 m + 15 m) × \frac{15}{2}\)
\(= 45 m × 7.5 m\)
\(= 337.5 m²\)
Thus, the area of the pentagonal shaped park according to Jyoti’s way is 337.5 m²
(ii) Kavitha’s way of finding the area is as follows:
Area of pentagon ABCDE = Area of triangle ABE + Area of square EBCD
\(= \frac{1}{2} × BE × (AF − OF) + FC × BC \) [Since, AO = AF - OF]
\(= \frac{1}{2} × 15 × (30 − 15) + (15 × 15 )\)
\(= (\frac{1}{2} × 15 × 15) m² + 225 m²\)
\(= 112.5 m² + 225 m²\)
\(= 337.5 m²\)
Thus, the area of the pentagonal shaped park according to Kavitha’s way is 337.5 m²
