Point B is halfway between A and C. The distance from C to D is the same as the distance from D to E, which is the same as the distance from E to F. The area of triangle ACF is 180 cm2. How many square centimeters is the shaded area of triangle BCE?

60

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle ACF is (1/2) (AC) (CF) = 180

area of triangle BCE = (1/2) (BC) (CE)

BC = AC/2

CE=(2/3) CF

so (1/2) (BC) (CE) = (1/2) (AC/2) (2/3)CF = (1/2)(2/3)(180) = 60 sq cm

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
