Work out the area of triangle ABC.

Work Out The Area Of Triangle ABC class=

Sagot :

Answer:

A = 4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

b = AC = 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] + [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

h = BD

Calculate BD using Pythagoras' identity in Δ ABD

BD² = AB² - AD²

      = (2[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] )² - (3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] )²

     = 20 - 18 = 2 ( take square root of both sides )

BD = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Then

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 2 × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 4 cm²
