In rectangle abcd, the bisector of angle A meets BC at point E. Find the area of the rectangle if BE = 4 cm, BC = 4.5 cm.

In a rectangle, all interior angles are 90, and since AE is the bisector of the angle, the angle BAE = DAE = 45.

The angle DАЕ = АЕВ as the cross-lying angles at the intersection of parallel lines ВС and АD of the secant АЕ, then the angle BAE = BEA = 45, and therefore the triangle ABE is rectangular and isosceles. AB = BE = 4 cm.

Let’s define the area of the rectangle ABCD.

Savsd = AB * BC = 4 * 4.5 = 18 cm2.

Answer: The area of the rectangle is 18 cm2.
