First symmetrically cut the pentagon to get 5 pieces. (So that you will get the idea that this polygon is divided into 5 triangles)
Then find the area of one of the triangles:
Area of Triangle =
A = × 4 × 10
A = 20 m²
To find the area of the whole pentagon shape:
A = 20 × 5 = 100 m²

Answer:
No, modern train cannot travel on old railroad.
Step-by-step explanation:
In rail transport, track gauge is the spacing of the rails on a railway track and is measured between the inner faces of the load-bearing rails.
Most of the modern train are based on broad gauge. The separation in broad gauge is about 5 ft and 6 inches and in the standard gauge the separation between the tracks is 4 ft and inches. So for the modern train it is not possible to travel on the tracks whose separation is no more than 4.5 feet.
