The correct Answer is:
To find the area of triangle ABC given that the area formed by joining the midpoints of its sides (triangle DEF) is 2 square units, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: When the midpoints of the sides of a triangle are joined, they form a new triangle (DEF) whose area is always 1/4 of the area of the original triangle (ABC). 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: Let the area of triangle ABC be denoted as \( A \). According to the relationship mentioned, we have: \[ \text{Area of DEF} = \frac{1}{4} \times \text{Area of ABC} \] This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \text{Area of DEF} = \frac{1}{4} A \] 3. **Substituting the Given Value**: We know from the problem that the area of triangle DEF is 2 square units. Therefore, we can substitute this value into our equation: \[ 2 = \frac{1}{4} A \] 4. **Solving for A**: To find \( A \), we multiply both sides of the equation by 4: \[ A = 2 \times 4 \] \[ A = 8 \] 5. **Conclusion**: Thus, the area of triangle ABC is 8 square units. ### Final Answer: The area of triangle ABC is **8 square units** (Option A). ---
