△ A B C + △ A C T = 4 5
Since T is the midpoint of A D , △ A D C = 2 × △ A T C
But △ A B C = △ A D C . It follows that △ A B C = 2 × △ A T C
∴ 2 × △ A T C + △ A T C = 4 5 . It follows that 3 × △ A T C = 4 5 . From here △ A T C = 1 5 .
Finally,
△ A D C = 2 × 1 5 = 3 0 answer

It's a simple problem first take B C = x , then A T = 2 x . And we know that Area of trapezium = 2 Sum of parallel sides × Height
Take height as y and area is given 45 cm 2 . Therefore x y = 6 0 . And half the area is triangle ACD, hence its area is 6 0 / 2 = 3 0 . □
