To find area, you do length * width For the rectangle, the length is 48 inches and the width is 32 inches. To find the area of the rectangle, we do 48 * 32 48 * 32 = 1,536 The area of the rectangle is 1,536 inches. To find the area of a triangle, it is a little different. To find the area of a triangle, you use the following formula: A = 1/2 bh We use 48 inches for the base of the triangle since the base side is equivalent to the base side of the rectangle, which is 48. We use 12 inches for the height. In this case, we do: Area = 1/2(48)(12) Using PEMDAS, we do multiplication or division depending on which one comes first. In this case, division comes first 1/2(48) or 48/2 = 24 Then multiply 24 * 12 = 288 The area of the triangle is 288 inches.
