ABCD is a square of side 12 cm. It is formed from two rectangles AEGD and
EBCG. H is a point on AD and F is a point on BC.
Find the area of EFGH.

Sagot :

Answer:72 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Solution 1:

Step 1: Find EF use Pythagorean theorem

[tex]EF^{2} = EB^{2} + BF^{2}[/tex]

[tex]EF^{2} = 6^{2} + 6^{2}[/tex]

EF = [tex]\sqrt{6^{2} + 6^{2} }[/tex] = 6[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] cm

Step 2: The area of EFGH = [tex]EF^{2}[/tex]= [tex](6\sqrt{2} )^{2}[/tex] = 72

Solution 2: See that the area of EFGH is equal [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] the area of ABCD

The area of ABCD = 12x12 = 144

Thus, the area of EFGH = 144: 2 = 72:)

Have a nice day!
