三角形★★★★☆
In the figure, the area of square is . The four smaller squares have sides 1 cm long, either parallel to or coinciding with the sides of the large square. In , AB = AC , and when is folded over side , point coincides with , the center of square . What is the area of , in square centimeters?
在下图中,正方形 WXYZ 的面积为 25 平方厘米。四个小正方形边长为 1 厘米,它们的各边与大正方形的边平行或重合。在 中,AB=AC,若将 沿着边 折叠,则点 A 和正方形的中心 重合。那么 的面积是多少平方厘米?

- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
- E.
正确答案 · Correct Answer
C
解析 · Solution
解法1
常规解法 · 定底与高
大正方形面积 25,边长 5,中心 。由图 两端各被单位小方缩进 1,故 BC=5-1-1=3。 等腰,沿 翻折后顶点落到 ,说明它在 上的高 = 到 的距离 。面积 。
巧解 · 对折等高
翻折把 送到中心 ,故 到 的高等于 到 的高 。底 BC=3,面积 。
Solution 1
Elementary · fix base and height
The large square has area 25, side 5, center . From the figure BC=5-1-1=3 (each end pulled in by a unit square). Folding over sends to , so the height from to equals the distance from to , namely . The area is .
Slick · fold over, same height
Folding sends onto the center , so 's height above equals 's height above , which is . With base BC=3, the area is .
