Question

Which statement best describes the area of the triangle shown below? A coordinate grid is shown with a triangle.. The base is 4 units, and the height is 4 units. A It is one-half the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.
B.It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.
C.It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.
D.It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B.It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a coordinate grid shown with triangle of measurements with base 4 units and height also 4 units.

We have to find the area of triangle which can be calculated as

⇒ $Area=\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

                  = $\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 4=8squareunits$

we have to choose the statement describes the area of the triangle evaluate above.

Option A: Not matched ∵equals to $\frac{1}{2}$[area of rectangle of length 4 units width 2 units]= $\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 2=4 sq units$                                  

Option B: matched : given one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 4=8 squnits$

Option C : Not matched : It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units

⇒$2\times length\times breadth=2\times 4\times 2=16 sq units$

Option 4 : Not matched : It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

⇒ $2\times 4 \times 4=32 squnits$

So, the correct option is B. It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.
