In the figure, what is the area of triangular region BCD ?
A. 4 root2
B. 8
C. 8 root2
D. 16
E. 16 root2


OA:C
BD = 4 sqrt(2)

Area of BCD = 1/2 * 4 * 4sqrt(2)
= 8 root(2)
C

in triangle BAD
according to pythogerous theorem
ba^2+ad^2= bd ^2
4^2+4^2=bd^2
root32=bd

now in triangle bcd area=1/2*b*h
=1/2*4*root 32
2 root 32 (root 32 = root (16*2) which is equal to 4root2)
2*4 root2
8 root2 answer



BD = 4 sqrt(2)

Area of BCD = 1/2 * 4 * 4sqrt(2)
= 8 root(2)
C

For 45-45-90 tri sides are in 1:1:sqrt2 ratio.

So BD is 4sqrt2

area of right tri=1/2*(product of sides containing 90)

=1/2*4*4sqrt2=8sqrt2
