#GREpracticequestion The area of ΔABE.jpg


The area of \(ΔABE =\) the area of rectangle \(BCDE\)

Quantity A
Quantity B
The ratio of side BE to side   DE
4:1


A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


Apply Pythagoras Theorem in \(ΔABE\), \(BE = 2\sqrt{2}\)
Length of the rectangle \(= BE = 2\sqrt{2}\)

Area of \(ΔABE\) = \(\frac{1}{2}(2)(2) = 2\)
Area of rectangle = \(2\sqrt{2}(DE)\)

Given that Area of \(ΔABE\) = Area of rectangle

\(DE = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Col. A: \(\frac{BE}{DE}\)
Col. B: \(\frac{4}{1}\)

Col. A: \((2\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2})\)
Col. B: \(\frac{4}{1}\)

Col. A: \(\frac{4}{1}\)
Col. B: \(\frac{4}{1}\)

Hence, option C
