Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Using the Law of Sines to Solve Geometrical Problems**
**Problem Statement:**
CDGF, FGIH, and HIKJ are squares with side length 1. DELK is another square. ABML is a square with an unknown side length. The task is to find the area of triangle BDF. You must demonstrate that your solution is valid for any square ABML, regardless of its size.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram consists of several geometric shapes:
- Three smaller squares (CDGF, FGIH, and HIKJ) aligned vertically, each with a side length of 1.
- A larger square, ABML, with an unknown side length, positioned such that it shares the side AB with square DELK.
- Another square, DELK, is seen nested within ABML.
- Points are labeled to assist in referencing:
- Square CDGF: Points C, D, G, F
- Square FGIH: Points F, G, I, H
- Square HIKJ: Points H, I, K, J
- Square DELK: Points D, E, L, K
- Square ABML: Points A, B, L, M
- The triangle BDF is formed by connecting points B, D, and F.
**Objectives:**
Calculate the area of triangle BDF using the Law of Sines and ensure the solution holds for any possible size of square ABML.
