Answer:

D. 22.5 sq. un.

Explanation:

W divides BU so that there is a ratio of 1;2 meaning that there are 3 parts.

That means that 3 parts is BUV; we know that one of those parts is 4.5 sq. un. so 4.5*3=13.5 sq. un. - Also 4.5*2=9 to get WUV

V is the midpoint of the line BS so that means that BUV and UVS are equal

we know that BUV is 13.5 so we multiply that by 2 to get the whole triangle

=27

The last step is to get rid of BVW which we know is 4.5

27-4.5=22.5
