First, we should find the length of <math>AB</math>. In order to do this, as we see in the diagram, it can be split into 4 equal sections. Since diagram <math>K</math> shows us that it is made up of two <math>{30,60,90}</math> triangles, then the triangle outlined in red must be a <math>30,60,90</math> triangle, as <math>{30+30=60}</math>, and the two lines are perpendicular (it is proveable, but during competition, it is best to assume this is true, as the diagram is draw pretty well to scale). Also, since we know the length of the longest side of the red triangle is <math>{\sqrt3}</math>, then the side we are looking for, which is outlined in blue, must be <math>\frac{3}{2}</math> by the <math>{1,\sqrt3, 2}</math> relationship of <math>{30,60,90}</math> triangles. Therefore <math>AB</math>, which is the base of the triangle we are looking, for must be <math>6.</math>

 +
 
 +
Now all we have to do is find the height. We can split the height into 2 sections, the green and the light green. The green section must be <math>{\sqrt3}</math>, as <math>K</math> shows us. Also, the light green section must be equal to <math>{\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}</math>, as in the previous paragraph, the triangle outlined in red is <math>30,60,90</math>. Then, the green section, which is the height, must be <math>{\sqrt3}+{\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}</math>, which is just <math>{\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}}</math>.

 +

Then the area of the triangle must be <math>{\frac{1}{2}}\cdot {b} \cdot {h}</math>, which is just <math>\boxed{  \textbf{(B) } \frac{9}{2} \sqrt3}.</math>

Let's start by looking at kite <math>\mathcal K</math>. We can quickly deduce based off of the side lengths that the kite can be split into two <math>30-60-90</math> triangles. Going back to the triangle <math>\triangle ABC</math>, focus on side <math>AB</math>. There are <math>4</math> kites, they are all either reflected over the line <math>AB</math> or a line perpendicular to <math>AB</math>, meaning the length of <math>AB</math> can be split up into 4 equal parts.
 +
 
 +
Pick out the bottom-left kite, and we can observe that the kite and the triangle formed by the intersection of the kite and <math>\Delta ABC</math> share a <math>60</math> degree angle. (this was deduced from the <math>30-60-90</math> triangles in the kite) The line AB and the right side of the kite are perpendicular, forming a <math>90^{\circ}</math> angle. Because that is also a <math>30-60-90</math> triangle with a hypotenuse of <math>\sqrt3</math>, so we find the length of AB to be <math>4*3/2</math>, which is <math>6</math>.
 +
 
 +
Then, we can drop an altitude from <math>C</math> to <math>AB</math>. We know that will be equivalent to the sum of the longer side of the kite and the shorter side of the triangle formed by the intersection of the kite and <math>\Delta ABC</math>. (Look at the line formed on the left of <math>C</math> that drops down to <math>AB</math> if you are confused) We already have those values from the <math>30-60-90</math> triangles, so we can just plug it into the triangle area formula, <math>bh/2</math>. We get <cmath>6\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt3+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}{2}\rightarrow3\cdot(\sqrt3+\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2})\rightarrow3\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\rightarrow\boxed{\textbf{(B) }\dfrac92\sqrt3}</cmath>

<cmath>\textbf{Step 1:} </cmath>
 +
As stated in the solutions above we can easily find that <math>AB</math> is split into <math>4</math> equal parts, so we have <math>AB=4(AE)</math> We can calculate <math>AE,</math> by using <math>AA</math> similarity to find <math>\triangle{ADE}</math> is a <math>30-60-90</math> triangle, therefore we have <math>AD=\sqrt{3},DE=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},</math> and finally <math>AE=\frac{3}{2},</math> therefore <math>AB=4(AE)=4(\frac{3}{2})=6.</math> Similarly we have <math>CF</math> is congruent to <math>FG,</math> therefore <math>CF=FG=1.</math> Next we have <math>AD</math> is congruent to <math>DF</math> telling us <math>AF=AD+DF=2(AD)=2\sqrt{3}.</math> Noticing <math>\triangle{CFA}</math> is right, we apply Pythagorean theorem to <math>\triangle{CFA}</math> to find
 +
<cmath>AC^2=CF^2+AF^2</cmath>
 +
<cmath>AC^2=(1)^2+(2\sqrt{3})^2=13</cmath>
 +
<cmath>AC=\sqrt{13}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\textbf{Step 2:} </cmath>
 +
Next we would like to calculate CJ, As said before <math>CF=FG=1</math> so <math>CG=2.</math> We know the inscribed angle between CG and GJ is <math>60\cdot2=120,</math> and finally we know <math>GJ=1.</math> So we apply LoC on triangle CGJ in order to find CJ.
 +
<cmath>CJ^2=CG^2+GJ^2-2\cdot{CG}\cdot{GJ}\cdot\cos{120^{\circ}}. </cmath>
 +
<cmath>CJ^2=2^2+1^2-2\cdot2\cdot1\cdot\cos{120^{\circ}}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>CJ^2=5-2\cdot2\cdot\frac{-1}{2}=7.</cmath> <cmath>CJ=\sqrt{7}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\textbf{Step 3:} </cmath>
 +
Now since we have all side lengths of <math>\triangle{CAJ}</math> we can find <math>\cos{\angle{CAJ}}.</math> Applying LoC again on <math>\triangle{CAJ}</math> we have,
 +
<cmath>CJ^2=CA^2+AJ^2-2\cdot{CA}\cdot{AJ}\cdot\cos{\angle{CAJ}}. </cmath>
 +
<cmath>{\sqrt{7}}^2={\sqrt{13}}^2+{3}^2-2\cdot3\cdot{\sqrt{13}}\cdot\cos{\angle{CAJ}}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>7=22-6{\sqrt{13}}\cdot\cos{\angle{CAJ}}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\frac{-15}{-6{\sqrt{13}}}=\frac{5\sqrt{13}}{26}=\cos{\angle{CAJ}}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\textbf{Step 4:} </cmath>
 +
We can solve for the area using the sin area formula which is <math>\frac{1}{2}\cdot{AC}\cdot{AB}\sin{\angle{CAJ}}.</math> To find <math>\sin{\angle{CAJ}}</math> we use the well known fact <math>\sin^2{x}+\cos^2{x}=1.</math> So we find,
 +
<cmath>\sin^2{\angle{CAJ}}+\cos^2{\angle{CAJ}}=1.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\sin^2{\angle{CAJ}}+(\frac{5\sqrt{13}}{26})^2=1.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\sin^2{\angle{CAJ}}+\frac{25}{52}=1.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\sin^2{\angle{CAJ}}=\frac{27}{52}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>\sin{\angle{CAJ}}=\frac{3\sqrt{39}}{26}.</cmath>
 +
Finally to wrap up we can find the area of <math>\triangle{ABC}</math> using the sin area formula,
 +
<cmath>[ABC]=\frac{1}{2}\cdot{AC}\cdot{AB}\cdot\sin{\angle{CAJ}}.</cmath>
 +
<cmath>[ABC]=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\sqrt{13}\cdot{6}\cdot\frac{3\sqrt{39}}{26}=\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{2}.</cmath>

Therefore our answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(B) } \frac{9}{2} \sqrt3.}</math>

Assume we set A as <math>(0, 0)</math>. The line AB can be split into 4 equal sections, easily noticed in the picture. Not that the first equal section, starting at A.

First, we should find the length of $AB$. In order to do this, as we see in the diagram, it can be split into 4 equal sections. Since diagram $K$ shows us that it is made up of two ${30,60,90}$ triangles, then the triangle outlined in red must be a $30,60,90$ triangle, as ${30+30=60}$, and the two lines are perpendicular (it is proveable, but during competition, it is best to assume this is true, as the diagram is draw pretty well to scale). Also, since we know the length of the longest side of the red triangle is ${\sqrt3}$, then the side we are looking for, which is outlined in blue, must be $\frac{3}{2}$ by the ${1,\sqrt3, 2}$ relationship of ${30,60,90}$ triangles. Therefore $AB$, which is the base of the triangle we are looking, for must be $6.$


Now all we have to do is find the height. We can split the height into 2 sections, the green and the light green. The green section must be ${\sqrt3}$, as $K$ shows us. Also, the light green section must be equal to ${\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}$, as in the previous paragraph, the triangle outlined in red is $30,60,90$. Then, the green section, which is the height, must be ${\sqrt3}+{\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}$, which is just ${\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}}$.


Then the area of the triangle must be ${\frac{1}{2}}\cdot {b} \cdot {h}$, which is just $\boxed{ \textbf{(B) } \frac{9}{2} \sqrt3}.$

Solution 2

Let $\mathcal K$ be quadrilateral $MNOP$. Drawing line $MO$ splits the triangle into $\Delta MNO$. Drawing the altitude from $N$ to point $Q$ on line $MO$, we know $NQ$ is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, $MQ$ is $\frac{3}{2}$, and $QO$ is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Screenshot 2024-11-08 2.33.52 PM.png

Due to the many similarities present, we can find that $AB$ is $4(MQ)$, and the height of $\Delta ABC$ is $NQ+MN$

$AB$ is $4(\frac{3}{2})=6$ and the height of $\Delta ABC$ is $\sqrt3+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$.

Solving for the area of $\Delta ABC$ gives $6\cdot\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2}$ which is $\boxed{\textbf{(B) }\dfrac92\sqrt3}$

Solution 3

Let's start by looking at kite $\mathcal K$. We can quickly deduce based off of the side lengths that the kite can be split into two $30-60-90$ triangles. Going back to the triangle $\triangle ABC$, focus on side $AB$. There are $4$ kites, they are all either reflected over the line $AB$ or a line perpendicular to $AB$, meaning the length of $AB$ can be split up into 4 equal parts.

Pick out the bottom-left kite, and we can observe that the kite and the triangle formed by the intersection of the kite and $\Delta ABC$ share a $60$ degree angle. (this was deduced from the $30-60-90$ triangles in the kite) The line AB and the right side of the kite are perpendicular, forming a $90^{\circ}$ angle. Because that is also a $30-60-90$ triangle with a hypotenuse of $\sqrt3$, so we find the length of AB to be $4*3/2$, which is $6$.

Then, we can drop an altitude from $C$ to $AB$. We know that will be equivalent to the sum of the longer side of the kite and the shorter side of the triangle formed by the intersection of the kite and $\Delta ABC$. (Look at the line formed on the left of $C$ that drops down to $AB$ if you are confused) We already have those values from the $30-60-90$ triangles, so we can just plug it into the triangle area formula, $bh/2$. We get \[6\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt3+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}{2}\rightarrow3\cdot(\sqrt3+\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2})\rightarrow3\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\rightarrow\boxed{\textbf{(B) }\dfrac92\sqrt3}\]

Solution 5

Let the point of intersection of $AB$ and the kite with $A$ as vertex be $D$.

Let the left kite with $C$ as a vertex touch the kite with $A$ as vertex at point $E$.

$\triangle ADE$ is a $30-60-90$ so $AD = \frac{3}{2}$ and $DE = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}$.

So, $AB = 4\cdot AD = 6$ and $CD=CE+DE= \frac{3\sqrt3}{2}$, and the area is $\frac12\cdot AB \cdot CD = \boxed{ \textbf{(B) } \frac{9}{2} \sqrt3}.$

Solution 7(coordinate bash)

Assume we set A as $(0, 0)$. The line AB can be split into 4 equal sections, easily noticed in the picture. Not that the first equal section, starting at A. When we follow the line AB, we see that it's a right angle, noticing its a 30, 60, 90 triangle. Because the hypothenuse of that triangle is $\sqrt{3}$. Using the 30, 60, 90 ratio, we see that one of those equal sections is 3/2. Making the coordinate of B, $(6, 0)$.

Now, we must find the coordinate of C. Note that when we drop C down to the perpindicular of AB, there is a $x$ component to C, and a $y$ component to C. To find the X component, we see that it's one equal section found before as 3/2, and another section equal to 1, given in the question, making it $x$ = 5/2. The Y component can be seen as another two sections. The two green sections marked in solution 1. One is $\sqrt{3}/2$ due to the same 30 60 90 triangle we found in the first part of the solution. And the other part is $\sqrt{3}$, given in the question. Making $y$ = $\frac{3}{2} \sqrt3$. So we see that C = ($5/2$, $\frac{3}{2} \sqrt3$)

Using shoelace theorem, we get to get $\boxed{ \textbf{(B) } \frac{9}{2} \sqrt3}.$
