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.
1 answer:
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
