Join the diagonal AC of quadrilateral ABCD.
Here, the sides of triangle ABC are a = 30 m, b = 30 m and c = 48 m.
So, the semi-perimeter of triangle
S = a + b + c/2 = 30 + 30 + 48/2 = 108/2 = 54 m.
Therefore, area of triangle = √s(s – a)(s -b)(s -c)
= √54(54 -30)(54 -30)(54 -48) = √54(24)(24)(6) = √186624 = 432 m²
Hence, area of quadrilateral = 2 × 432 = 864 m²
Therefore, the area grazed by each cow = Total area/number of cows = 864/18 = 48 m²
