Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
(D) Segments $\overline{AD}$ and $\overline{BE}$ are drawn perpendicular to $\overline{YZ}$. Segments $\overline{AB}$, $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BC}$ divide $\triangle XYZ$ into four congruent triangles. Vertical line segments $\overline{AD}$, $\overline{XC}$ and $\overline{BE}$ divide each of these in half. Three of the eight small triangles are shaded, or $\frac{3}{8}$ of $\triangle XYZ$. The shaded area is $\frac{3}{8}(8)=3$.
(D) 线段 $\overline{AD}$ 和 $\overline{BE}$ 作垂直于 $\overline{YZ}$。线段 $\overline{AB}$、$\overline{AC}$ 和 $\overline{BC}$ 将 $\triangle XYZ$ 分成四个全等三角形。竖直线段 $\overline{AD}$、$\overline{XC}$ 和 $\overline{BE}$ 将其中每个再平分。8 个小三角形中有 3 个被阴影涂色,即占 $\triangle XYZ$ 的 $\frac{3}{8}$。阴影面积为 $\frac{3}{8}(8)=3$。
