Answer:
ans is b
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct option is B)
The diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal right triangles,Triangle ABC and Triangle ADC.
In triangle ADC,
sin30
0
=
2
CD
⇒
2
1
=
2
CD
CD=1
Applying Pythagorean theorem, we get
AC
2
=AD
2
+CD
2
⇒AD
2
=2
2
−1
2
⇒AD=
3
So, height of triangle ACD, CD=1
Length of the base of △ACD, AD=
3
Area of triangle ACD,
=
2
1
× base × height
=
2
1
×
3
×1
=

Similarly,the area of right triangle ABC =
2
3
So, the area of rectangle= area of right triangle ABC + Area of triangle ACD=
2

=
