Question

Right triangle FGH has midsegments of 15,36, and 39 centimeters given that area of a triangle is represented by the formula A=1/2bh determine the area of triangle FGH

A.180cm2
B.1080cm2
C.1170cm2
D.2160cm2

Answer 1

1/2(72*30)=1080 CM^2

Explanation:

don't rember how i got it, just remeber having this question on my work.

Answer 2

Explanation:

according to the midsegment theorem, a midsegment of a triangle is parallel to a side of a triangle and its length is 1/2 length of the side.

1/2FG= 15, SO FG=30,

1/2 GH=36 SO GH=72

AREA = 1/2(72*30)=1080 CM^2
