Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 How many times does the kite fit in the triangle?
00:03 We want to calculate the area ratio
00:13 Let's substitute the triangle's area value
00:16 We'll use the formula for calculating the kite's area
00:20 (diagonal times diagonal) divided by 2
00:24 Let's substitute appropriate values according to the given data and solve for the area
00:30 Now let's substitute the area value we calculated in the area ratio
00:35 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the area of deltoid ABCD using the diagonals AC and DB.
  • Step 2: Determine how many times the area of deltoid ABCD fits into the area of triangle ABD.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Since deltoid ABCD is a kite, its area is given by: Areadeltoid=12×AC×DB=12×4×6=12cm2.\text{Area}_{\text{deltoid}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{AC} \times \text{DB} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 6 = 12 \, \text{cm}^2.

Step 2: We divide the area of triangle ABD by the area of deltoid ABCD to find how many times it fits: Number of times=AreatriangleAreadeltoid=36cm212cm2=3.\text{Number of times} = \frac{\text{Area}_{\text{triangle}}}{\text{Area}_{\text{deltoid}}} = \frac{36 \, \text{cm}^2}{12 \, \text{cm}^2} = 3.

Therefore, the deltoid ABCD can fit 3 times inside triangle ABD.

Thus, the answer is 3 3 .
