abcd is a square . f and e are the midpoints of sides ad and cd , respectively . the area of triangle fed is 2 square inches . what is the area of square abcd ( in square inches ) ?
[ "4'", "8'", "16'", "32'" ]
C
area of fed = 2 sq inches = 1 / 2 * de * fd = 1 / 2 * de ^ 2 because the sides of a square are equal , hence half of the sides will also be equal . de ^ 2 = 4 de = fd = 2 hence the side of the square = 4 area if the square = 4 * 4 = 16 correct option : c
