Square has area . Point lies on side . Points and are the midpoints of and , respectively. Given that quadrilateral has area , what is the area of triangle

Respuesta :

41 is the area of triangle.

What is quadrilateral with shape?

  • A quadrilateral is a 4 sided closed figure. These figures are quadrilaterals: A shape with four sides.
  • The shape has one set of parallel sides and does not have any right angles.
  • There are 5 types of quadrilaterals – Rectangle, Square, Parallelogram, Trapezium or Trapezoid, and Rhombus.

1. Consider square ABCD. You know that  

[tex]A_{ABCD} = AD^{2} = 200[/tex]

then

AB = BC  = AC = AD = 10√2

2. Consider traiangle AED. F is mipoint of AE and G is midpoint of DE, then FG is midline of triangle AED. This means that

[tex]FG = \frac{AD}{2} = \frac{10\sqrt{2} }{2} = 5\sqrt{2}[/tex]

3. Consider trapezoid BFGC. Its area is

[tex]A_{BFGC} = \frac{FG + BC}{2}. h[/tex] where h is the height of trapezoid and is equal to half of AB. Thus,

[tex]A_{BFGC} = \frac{FG + BC}{2} . \frac{AB}{2} = \frac{5\sqrt{2 + 10\sqrt{2} } }{2} . \frac{10\sqrt{2} }{2} = 75[/tex]

4. [tex]A_{BFGC} = A_{BFGE} + A_{EGC}[/tex]

   [tex]A_{EGC} = A_{BFGC} - A_{BFGE} = 75 - 34 = 41[/tex]

5. Note that angles EGC and CGD are supplementary and

   Sin ∠CGD = sin ∠ EGC

Then

[tex]A_{CGD} = \frac{1}{2} CG . CD . Sin < CGE = A_{ACG} = 41[/tex]
