18. (12 points) In $\triangle A B C$ , the sides opposite to angles $A , B , C$ are $a , b , c$ respectively. Given that When $t = 0$, $S = 3$; when $t = \pm 1$, $S = 4\sqrt{2}$.
Therefore, the area of quadrilateral $ADBE$ is $3$ or $4\sqrt{2}$.

In $\triangle ABC$, $a = 7$, $A$ is an obtuse angle, $\sin 2B = \frac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 7 } b \cos B$.
(1) Find $\angle A$;
(2) Choose one condition from conditions (1), (2), and (3) below as a given condition and find the area of $\triangle ABC$.
(1) $b = 7$; (2) $\cos B = \frac { 13 } { 14 }$; (3) $c \sin A = \frac { 5 } { 2 } \sqrt { 3 }$. Note: If conditions (1), (2), and (3) are solved separately, only the first solution will be graded.

Three triangles are formed by drawing lines from the vertices of a triangle $ABC$ to the opposite sides, each making equal angles with the sides. Let $\Delta_1, \Delta_2, \Delta_3$ be the areas of the three smaller triangles formed at the vertices with the circumradius equal to 1.
a) Express the total area $\Delta = \Delta_1 + \Delta_2 + \Delta_3$ in terms of $A, B, C$.
b) Find the angles $A, B, C$ that maximize $\Delta$.
c) Verify that the maximum occurs for an isosceles triangle and prove $C = A$ by calculus.

As shown in the figure, the Wang family owns a triangular piece of land $\triangle A B C$ , where $\overline { B C } = 16$ meters. The government plans to requisition the trapezoid $D B C E$ portion to develop a road with straight lines $D E , B C$ as edges, with road width $h$ meters, leaving the Wang family with only $\frac { 9 } { 16 }$ of the original land area. After negotiation, the plan is changed to develop a road with parallel lines $B E , F C$ as edges, with the same road width, where $\angle E B C = 30 ^ { \circ }$ . Only the $\triangle B C E$ region needs to be requisitioned. According to this agreement, the Wang family's remaining land $\triangle A B E$ has (15-1)(15-2)(15-3) square meters.

As shown in the figure, consider a rectangular stone block with a vertex $A$ and a face containing point $A$. Let the midpoints of the edges of this face be $B , E , F , D$ respectively. Another face of the rectangular block containing point $B$ has its edge midpoints as $B , C , H , G$ respectively. Given that $\overline { B C } = 8$ and $\overline { B D } = \overline { D C } = 9$. The stone block is now cut to remove eight corners, such that the cutting plane for each corner passes through the midpoints of the three adjacent edges of that corner.
Find the area of $\triangle B C D$. (Non-multiple choice question, 4 points)
