Answer:
This is a rectangle, so if AB is equal to 3 centimeters, then DC is equal to 3 centimeters.
Since Angle X is equal to 45 degrees, then angle CDE, is also equal to 45 degrees, and we have an isosceles triangle, since angle CDE and DEC are equal to each other.
This means, that CE = DC.
And because E is the midpoint of CB, CE = EB.
So basically, we have:
DC = CE = BE
DC = 3
3 = CE = BE
And we see that CE and BE are both equal to 3, which makes CB equal to 6, which makes solving the area easy. (3 x 6), which is 18.
B is correct!
