Question

What is the area of triangle ADC is ? Square units?

Answer 1

Given:

The triangle ADC is formed by reflecting the triangle ABC across the line segment AC

So, the triangles ABC and ADC are congruent

The area of the triangle ADC = Area of the triangle ABC

The area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Base = AC = 4 units

Height = BE = 3 units

So, the area will be as follows:

`Area=(1)/(2)*AC*BE=(1)/(2)*4*3=6`

So, the answer will be:

Area of the triangle ADC is 6 square units
