Question

Two identical triangles form a parallelogram with a base of 8 Inches and a height of 6 inches.What is the area of one triangle? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: The area of the triangle is 24 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the 2 triangles form a parallelogram ( see attachment) we have the base and height of the triangles, we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a triangle; (base x height) /2

Replacing with the values:  

A = (8x6 )/2

A = 48 /2

A = 24 square inches

The area of the triangle is 24 inches
