The statements to determine the area of the polygon by division into triangles are evaluated as follows;

  • Statement A: the area of triangle GHL plus of triangle HIJ --No

  • Statement B: the area of triangle GHK plus the area triangle HIK --Yes

  • Statement C: the area of triangle GHK plus the area of triangle ILK. --No

  • Statement D: the area of triangle GHK plus the area of triangle ILK. --No

Polygons and Triangles

From the given description;

The polygon given can only be divided into two triangles if divided into triangles; GHK and HIK.

Hence, it follows that the area of triangle GHK plus the area triangle HIK is equivalent to the area of the given polygon.
