Question
Use the diagram to determine which statement is true.
Responses
A Area(ABCD) - AREA(DGA) = AREA(DEFG)Area(ABCD) - AREA(DGA) = AREA(DEFG)
B Area(ABCD) - AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DGA)Area(ABCD) - AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DGA)
C Area(ABCD) + AREA(DGA) = AREA(GHIA)Area(ABCD) + AREA(DGA) = AREA(GHIA)
D Area(ABCD) + AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DEFG)Area(ABCD) + AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DEFG)
E Area(DEFG) + AREA(GHIA) = AREA(ABCD)
The correct statement is:
E Area(DEFG) + AREA(GHIA) = AREA(ABCD)
This is because the sum of the areas of the two smaller triangles (DEFG and GHIA) will equal the area of the larger triangle ABCD.
