AMC8 2016 · Q2. It mainly tests Area & perimeter.

In rectangle ABCD, AB = 6 and AD = 8. Point M is the midpoint of AD. What is the area of $\triangle AMC$?
在矩形ABCD中,AB = 6,AD = 8。点M是AD的中点。$ riangle AMC$的面积是多少?
(A) 12 12
(B) 15 15
(C) 18 18
(D) 20 20
(E) 24 24
Answer
Correct choice: (A)
正确答案:(A)
Solution
The area of triangle ACD is $\tfrac{1}{2}\cdot 8\cdot 6=24$. The area of triangle MCD is $\tfrac{1}{2}\cdot 4\cdot 6=12$. So the area of triangle AMC is $24-12=12$.
三角形 ACD 的面积为 $\tfrac{1}{2}\cdot 8\cdot 6=24$。三角形 MCD 的面积为 $\tfrac{1}{2}\cdot 4\cdot 6=12$。因此三角形 AMC 的面积是 $24-12=12$。
