Answer:

The area of rectangle EFGH is 242\ in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem I assume that rectangle ABCD and rectangle EFGH are similar

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ------> the scale factor

The scale factor is the ratio between the diagonals of rectangles

so

z=\frac{22}{12}=\frac{11}{6}

step 2

Find the area of rectangle EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is the scale factor squared

Let

z------> the scale factor

x -----> area of rectangle EFGH

y ----> area of rectangle ABCD

so

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{11}{6}

y=72\ in^{2}

substitute and solve for x

(\frac{11}{6})^{2}=\frac{x}{72}

\frac{121}{36}=\frac{x}{72}

x=\frac{121}{36}(72)

x=242\ in^{2}

To find the area of a triangle, you multiply the base times the height and multiply it by 2.
In order to find the height, you need to do this in reverse.
1.multiply 24x2
2. Find possible multiples.
3. 4x12=48, 12(the base) is three times four, and 48/2 is 24.
Answer: the height of the triangle is 4
