Jackie cut a piece of paper along its diagonal, as shown below, forming two triangles.
2 answers:
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)
<em>Note that this can be explained properly with the use of attachments</em>
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.
