solve it's help me guys

Answer:
here,
DE//BC
so,
angleD=angleB
angleA is common
therefore triangleADE is similar to triangle ABC
(by AA criteria)
so, (AE/AC)^2 or (AD/DB)^2=area of triangle ADE/area of triangle ABC
i.e, 4/9=area of triangle ADE /36
area of triangle ADE =16cm^2
now the area of quad. BCED will be 36-16
i.e, 20cm^2
Given:
AD/DB = AE/EC = 2,
Then by converse of BPT,
DE || BC.
∴ ∠ADE = ∠ABC (corresponding angles)
∠AEC = ∠ACB (corresponding angles).
Therefore, ∆ADE ~ ∆ABC. (By AA criteria.)
As per data, ar(∆ABC) = 36 cm².
We know,
ar(∆ADE)/ar(∆ABC) = AD²/AB² = DE²/BC² = AE²/AC². __(A)
& AD/DB = 2
=> AD/(AB - AD) = 2
{Just getting the value in terms of AB which will help in getting the answer.}
=> 2AB - 2AD = AD
=> 2AB = 3AD
=> AD/AB = 2/3
=> AD²/AB² = (2/3)² = 4/9
=> ar(∆ADE)/ar(∆ABC) = 4/9
[From A]
=> ar(∆ADE) = 4/9 • ar(∆ABC) = 4/9 × 36 cm² = 16 cm²
Clearly, now ar(□BCED) = ar(∆ABC) - ar(∆ADE) = 36 cm² - 16 cm² = 20 cm². (D)
