The correct Answer is:
To find the area of triangle ABC, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - We have triangle ABC where angle B = 90°. - AB = 4√5 - AD = 4 - BD is perpendicular to AC. ### Step 2: Use the Pythagorean Theorem Since triangle ABD is a right triangle, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem: \[ AB^2 = AD^2 + BD^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ (4\sqrt{5})^2 = 4^2 + BD^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Squares Calculating the squares: - \( (4\sqrt{5})^2 = 16 \times 5 = 80 \) - \( AD^2 = 4^2 = 16 \) Now, substituting these values into the equation: \[ 80 = 16 + BD^2 \] ### Step 4: Solve for BD Rearranging the equation to find BD: \[ BD^2 = 80 - 16 \] \[ BD^2 = 64 \] Taking the square root: \[ BD = \sqrt{64} = 8 \] ### Step 5: Find DC Using Similar Triangles Using the property of similar triangles (triangles ABD and BDC): \[ \frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{BD}{DC} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{4}{8} = \frac{8}{DC} \] ### Step 6: Cross-Multiply to Solve for DC Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 4 \cdot DC = 8 \cdot 8 \] \[ 4 \cdot DC = 64 \] Dividing both sides by 4: \[ DC = \frac{64}{4} = 16 \] ### Step 7: Find AC Now, we can find AC: \[ AC = AD + DC = 4 + 16 = 20 \] ### Step 8: Calculate the Area of Triangle ABC The area of triangle ABC can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] Here, base AC = 20 and height BD = 8: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 8 \] ### Step 9: Simplify the Area Calculation Calculating the area: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 8 = 10 \times 8 = 80 \] ### Final Answer The area of triangle ABC is \( 80 \) square units. ---
