A
解析 · Solution
Solution 1
By similar triangles, we have . Similarly, we see that . Using this information, we get
Then, since , it follows that the . Thus, the answer would be . Sidenote: $[ABC]$ denotes the area of triangle . Similarly, $[ABCD]$ denotes the area of figure .
Let a = DE and b = the height of . We can extend to form a parallelogram, which would equal . The smaller parallelogram is times . The smaller parallelogram is of the larger parallelogram, so the answer would be , since the triangle is of the parallelogram, so the answer is . By babyzombievillager with credits to many others who helped with the solution:D
. We can substitute as and as , where is . Side having, distance , has 2 parts also. And, and are and respectfully. You can consider the height of and as and respectfully. The area of is because the area formula for a triangle is or . The area of will be . So, the area of will be . The area of parallelogram will be 4.5z-(0.5z+2z)=4.5z-2.5z=2z. Parallelogram to . The answer is .
