Hello I am happy to help you with this problem. So the formula to solve for a triangle is A = bxh divided by 2.
So it’s area equals base times height divided by 2. So the base is 2 1/2 which becomes 5/2 ( five over 2) times 2 which equals 5. It’s because you cancel. So 5 divided by 2 equals 5/2 which also equals 2 1/2.
I hope that helps you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
Ratio triangle height to square side 7:8
ratio triangle base to square side 1:2
Area of the square is 64 in² then the sides = 8 in
ratios give
h = 7(8)/8
h = 7
b = 8/2
b = 4
Area Triangle = 0.5(7)(4)
= 14
Then shaded region is the Area of the square minus the Area of the triangle.
A = 64 - 14
A = 50 in²
