Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To make it easy let's start by organizing our information :
- AC=12 AND BD=8
- ABCD is a rhombus
- K and L are the midpoints of sides AD and CD
- we notice that the rhombus ABCD is divided into four right triangles
What do you think of when you hear a right triangle ?
- The pythagorian theorem !
AC and BD are khown so let's focus on them .
If we concentrated we can notice that AB and BD are cossing each other in the midpoints . why ?
Simply because they are the diagonals of a rhombus .
ow let's apply the pythagorian theorem :
- (AC/2)² + (BD/2)² = BC²
- 6²+4²=52
- BC²= 52⇒=BC
Now we khow that : AB=BC=CD=AD=
This isn't enough . Let's try to figure out a way to calculate the length of KL wich is the base of the triangle
- KL is parallel to AC
- k is the midpoint of AD and L of DC
I smell something . yes! Thales theorem
- KL/AC=DL/DC=DK/AD WE4LL TAKE OLY ONE
- KL/12=/2*
- KL/12=1/2⇒ KL=6
Now we have the length of the base kl
Now the big boss the height :
- notice that you khow the length of KL
- BD crosses kl from its midpoint and DL = /2
What I want to do is to apply the pythgorian thaorem to khow the lenght of that small part that is not a part of the height of the triangle . I will call it D
- DL²=(KL/2)²+D²
- 52/4= 9+ D²
- D² = 52/4-9 +4 SO D=2
now the height of the trigle is H= BD-D= 8-2=6
NOw the area of the triangle is :
- A=(KL*H)/2 ⇒ A= (6*6)/2=18
THE ANSWER IS 18 SQ.UN

/1000000 equals to 70707/200000
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the triangles are similar the ratio of all the sides would be the same. So you need to find the ratio of the common sides and then use that ratio to find the unkown side.
In this picture sides FG = 52, FV would be the same side and is 24.
Dividing 24/52 = 0.461, so the unkown side WV would be 0.444 of it's common side HG.
HG = 39
39 * 0.461= 18.
The answer is C. 18
