Kyle reflects triangle A in the $x$-axis to get triangle B.
He then reflects triangle B in the line $y=x$ to get triangle C.

Amy reflects triangle A in the line $y=x$ to get triangle D.
She is then going to reflect triangle D in the $x$-axis to get triangle E.

$B$ is the point (6, 2).
$C$ is the point (5, 5).

Triangle $PQR$ is an enlargement of triangle $ABC$ with scale factor $\frac{1}{2}$ and centre (0, 0).
Work out the area of triangle $PQR$.

Enlarge the shaded triangle by a scale factor $1\frac{1}{2}$, centre $P$.
