Question

Select all of the following statements that are correct about the figures.

Answer 1

Answer:

  A) The areas of both figures are equal.

  B) The area of the rectangle is 15 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:

  A = LW = (5 m)(3 m) = 15 m^2

The area of the triangle is half the product of the dimensions of its base and height.

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(6 m)(5 m) = 15 m^2

The areas of both figures are 15 m^2.
