Question

Jackie cut a piece of paper along its diagonal, as shown below, forming two triangles.

Answer 1

Answer:

c is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

B. The two dimensions are the same in the triangles as they were in the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial Shape: Rectangle (Before cut)

Final Shape: Triangles (After cut)

Note that this can be explained properly with the use of attachments

See attachment 1 for Before Cut

Before Cut represent the full rectangle before Jackie cut the piece of paper.

Let H and B represent the height and base of the triangle

Given that the rectangle is cut diagonally, this means that the cutting starts and ends at the opposite edges of the rectangle

See attachment 2 for After Cut

After Cut represent the two triangles after cutting the rectangle

From the attachment, you'll observe that the dimension of the two triangles (Triangle 1 and Triangle 2) are the same as it is with the rectangle;

In other words, the two triangle have their heights as H and their bases as B.

Hence, it can concluded that the two dimensions are the same in the triangles as they were in the rectangle.
