Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In geometry, a polygon with all equal sides is called an equilateral polygon. You can see the words equal and lateral in that word. Lateral has to do with sides, so the word equilateral literally means "equal sides". How cool!

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

8 square units and $\frac{40}{3}$ square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle ABC is 24 square units.

1. Triangles ABC and FBG are similar with scale factor $\frac{1}{3},$ then

$\dfrac{A_{\triangle FBG}}{A_{\triangle ABC}}=\dfrac{1}{9}\Rightarrow A_{\triangle FBG}=\dfrac{1}{9}\cdot 24=\dfrac{8}{3}\ un^2.$

2. Triangles ABC and DBE are similar with scale factor $\frac{2}{3},$ then

$\dfrac{A_{\triangle DBE}}{A_{\triangle ABC}}=\dfrac{4}{9}\Rightarrow A_{\triangle DBE}=\dfrac{4}{9}\cdot 24=\dfrac{32}{3}\ un^2.$

3. Thus, the area of the quadrilateral DFGE is

$A_{DFGE}=A_{\triangle DBE}-A_{\triangle FBG}=\dfrac{32}{3}-\dfrac{8}{3}=8\ un^2.$

and the area of the quadrilateral ADEC is

$A_{ADEC}=A_{\triangle ABC}-A_{\triangle DBE}=24-\dfrac{32}{3}=\dfrac{40}{3}\ un^2.$
