Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
$\triangle EFG \sim \triangle EAB$ because $FG \parallel AB.$ The ratio of $\triangle EFG$ to $\triangle EAB$ is $2:5$ since $AB=5$ and $FG=2$ from subtraction. If we let $h$ be the height of $\triangle EAB,$
\[\frac{2}{5} = \frac{h-3}{h}\]
\[2h = 5h-15\]
\[3h = 15\]
\[h = 5\]
The height is $5$ so the area of $\triangle EAB$ is $\frac{1}{2}(5)(5) = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{25}{2}}$.
因为 $FG \parallel AB$,所以 $\triangle EFG \sim \triangle EAB$。由 $AB=5$ 且由减法得 $FG=2$,可知 $\triangle EFG$ 与 $\triangle EAB$ 的比为 $2:5$。设 $h$ 为 $\triangle EAB$ 的高,则
\[\frac{2}{5} = \frac{h-3}{h}\]
\[2h = 5h-15\]
\[3h = 15\]
\[h = 5\]
高为 $5$,所以 $\triangle EAB$ 的面积为 $\frac{1}{2}(5)(5) = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{25}{2}}$。
