Question

How many triangles would be needed to cover 7/3 trapezoid 7/3 ×3=7 Am I right I think it 21 doe.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 or 6 (or 2 or 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Any quadrilateral can be covered by 2 triangles, so the integer number in 7/3 = 2 1/3 quadrilaerals will require 2×2 = 4 triangles.

The meaning of (1/3) trapezoid determines the number of additional triangles required. If 1/3 trapezoid is a triangle, only one is needed. If 1/3 trapezoid is a quadrilateral, then 2 triangles are needed.

_____

If the 7/3 trapezoids are butted against each other so they make a larger quadrilateral figure, then only 2 triangles are needed.

_____

If each trapezoid is constructed from 3 equilateral triangles, and you want to know the total number of those equilateral triangles in 7/3 such figures, it will be 3 × 7/3 = 7.
