Question

(05.01)Sammy is trying to determine how many triangles she can create out of a square grid that has a side of 12 inches. Use the image below to determine the area of the triangle and how many she can cut out. Triangle with height of 6 inches and base of 12 inches aligned at bottom of a 12 by 12 inch square grid. The area of the triangle is 36 in2, so she can create only 2 triangles. The area of the triangle is 72 in2, so she can create only 2 triangles. The area of the triangle is 36 in2, so she can create only 4 triangles. The area of the triangle is 72 in2, so she can create only 4 triangles.

Answer 1

Answer:

The third answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is 36in2 (using basexheight/2, the formula for the area of a triangle.) since the area of the square is 144in2, to find the answer you just divide 144 by 36 which equals 4:) Hope that helps:)
