In the given diagram AB=$$sqrt{10}$$ m Given that PQRS is a square and the plank is placed symmetrically $$ riangle$$BPA and $$ riangle$$AQC will be isosceles right triangles. So PA=PB=$$frac{sqrt{10}}{sqrt{2}}$$=$$sqrt{5}$$ m PQ= PA+AQ AQ= PQ-PA=10-$$sqrt{5}$$ m We know that AQ=QC ($$ riangle$$AQC is isosceles right triangle) So AC=$$sqrt{2}$$AQ=$$sqrt{2}$$*(10-$$sqrt{5}$$) m Now we can calculate area of plank Area of ABCD= AB*AC= $$sqrt{10}$$*$$sqrt{2}$$(10-$$sqrt{5}$$)=10($$sqrt{20}$$-1) sq. mt
