13.5cm2 Solution: As D and E are the midpoints of AB and AC. So, by mid-point theorem $\text{DE} = \frac{\text{BC}}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6\text{cm}$ $\text{AD} = \frac{\text{AB}}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5\text{cm}$ Area of $\triangle\text{ADE} = 0.5 × \text{DE} × \text{AD}$ $= 0.5 × 6 × 4.5 = 13.5\text{cm}^2$
