So the closest answer is C. 19.3

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

19.3 square units .

Step-by-step explanation:

∠D=∠F=52°

Opposite sides of equal angles are equal .

So, DE=EF =6.3

Now sum of all angles of triangle is 180°

So, ∠D+∠F+∠E = 180°

52°+52°+∠E =180°

104°+∠E =180°

∠E =180°-104°

∠E =76°

Now to find the length of DF we will use law of cosines

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2+2(a)(b) Cos E[/tex]

[tex]DF^2=DE^2+EF^2+2(DE)(EF) Cos E[/tex]

[tex]DF^2=6.3^2+6.3^2+2(6.3)(6.3) Cos 76^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]DF^2=79.38+79.38 (0.2419)[/tex]

[tex]DF^2=98.582[/tex]

[tex]DF=\sqrt{98.582}[/tex]

[tex]DF=9.9[/tex]

Now we are supposed to find the area of triangle

To calculate the area of given triangle we will use the heron's formula :

[tex]Area = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

Where [tex]s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

a,b,c are the side lengths of triangle  

Now substitute the values :

[tex]s = \frac{6.3+6.3+9.9}{2}[/tex]

[tex]s =11.25[/tex]

[tex]Area = \sqrt{11.25(11.25-6.3)(11.25-6.3)(11.25-9.9)}[/tex]

[tex]Area = 19.2907[/tex]

Hence the area of the triangle is 19.2907 ≈19.3 square units .
