Question

Bryce takes a sheet of paper and makes a diagonal cut from one corner to the opposite corner, making two triangles. The cut he makes is 20 inches long and the width of the paper is 16 inches. What is the paper's length?

Answer 1

A n s w e r: 16

e x: A= 1/2 * 20 * 16 you brake in half the 20 into 10 ( 1/2 divided by 20 is 10 because half of 20 is 10) after you get 10 you bring down the 16 and you multiply the 10 & 16 and you get “016” also as “16”
