The correct Answer is:
To find the area of triangle ABC given the area of triangle ADE and the ratios of segments on BC, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Ratios**: The problem states that the segments on BC are in the ratio \( BD : DE : EC = 4 : 5 : 6 \). Let's denote: - \( BD = 4k \) - \( DE = 5k \) - \( EC = 6k \) Here, \( k \) is a common factor. 2. **Calculate Total Length of BC**: The total length of segment BC can be calculated as: \[ BC = BD + DE + EC = 4k + 5k + 6k = 15k \] 3. **Area Relationships**: The area of triangles sharing the same height from point A to line BC can be expressed in terms of their bases: - Area of triangle \( ABD \) is proportional to \( BD \) - Area of triangle \( ADE \) is proportional to \( DE \) - Area of triangle \( AEC \) is proportional to \( EC \) Thus, we can express the areas as: - Area of triangle \( ABD = 4x \) - Area of triangle \( ADE = 5x \) - Area of triangle \( AEC = 6x \) 4. **Given Area of Triangle ADE**: We know from the problem that: \[ \text{Area of triangle } ADE = 30 \, \text{cm}^2 \] Therefore, we can set: \[ 5x = 30 \implies x = \frac{30}{5} = 6 \, \text{cm}^2 \] 5. **Calculate Areas of Other Triangles**: Now we can find the areas of triangles \( ABD \) and \( AEC \): - Area of triangle \( ABD = 4x = 4 \times 6 = 24 \, \text{cm}^2 \) - Area of triangle \( AEC = 6x = 6 \times 6 = 36 \, \text{cm}^2 \) 6. **Calculate Total Area of Triangle ABC**: The total area of triangle ABC is the sum of the areas of triangles \( ABD \), \( ADE \), and \( AEC \): \[ \text{Area of triangle } ABC = \text{Area of } ABD + \text{Area of } ADE + \text{Area of } AEC \] \[ = 24 + 30 + 36 = 90 \, \text{cm}^2 \] ### Final Answer: The area of triangle ABC is \( 90 \, \text{cm}^2 \). ---
