Question

3.01)Which statement best describes the area of the triangle shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well if a square has side lengths of 4 units,

the area would be 16 because of l*w.

Now the formula for the area of a triangle is,

b*h/2

b = 4

h = 4

4*4=16

16 ÷ 2 = 8

So the area of a square is 16 units^2 whereas the area of a triangle with the same dimensions is 8 units^2,

meaning the area of a triangle is one-half the area of a square.

Hope this helps :)
