The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the area of triangle ABC given that the area of triangle A_A4_A5 is k cm² and that there are n equidistant points on the base BC of triangle ABC. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Configuration**: - We have triangle ABC with base BC. - There are n equidistant points A1, A2, A3, ..., An on base BC. - The distances are such that A1B = A1A2 = ... = A(n-1)An = AnC. 2. **Dividing Triangle ABC**: - The points A1, A2, ..., An divide the base BC into n equal segments. - Each segment has the same height from point A to the base BC. 3. **Area of Triangle**: - The area of triangle ABC can be expressed in terms of the area of smaller triangles formed by these points. - The area of triangle A_A4_A5 is given as k cm². 4. **Finding the Area of Smaller Triangles**: - Since the points A1, A2, ..., An are equidistant, each smaller triangle A_Ai_A(i+1) (for i = 1 to n-1) will have the same height from point A to the base BC. - The area of each triangle A_Ai_A(i+1) can be expressed as a fraction of the area of triangle ABC. 5. **Calculating the Number of Smaller Triangles**: - There are (n-1) smaller triangles formed by the points A1 to An. - The area of each triangle A_Ai_A(i+1) is equal to the total area of triangle ABC divided by n. 6. **Relating Areas**: - If the area of triangle A_A4_A5 is k cm², then: \[ \text{Area of triangle ABC} = n \times \text{Area of triangle A_A4_A5} \] - Therefore, we can substitute k for the area of triangle A_A4_A5: \[ \text{Area of triangle ABC} = n \times k \] 7. **Final Result**: - Hence, the area of triangle ABC is: \[ \text{Area of triangle ABC} = nk \text{ cm}^2 \] ### Final Answer: The area of triangle ABC is \( nk \) cm².
