Answer:
(B) 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle x is 45 degrees. Since it is bisecting a 90 degree angle, the angle on the other side is 45 degrees.
90 - 45 = 45
Since AB is 3, DC is 3. Since the right triangle DC is 45-90-45, the other side, CE, will also be 3. Since CE is half of the side of the rectangle, multiply it by 2 to get 6. The sides of the rectangle are 3 and 6. Use the formula for area of a rectangle to solve.
A = lw
A = (6)(3)
A = 18
The answer is B.
