Question

Olivia is cutting a 1 1/2 m by 3/4 m piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along its diagonal.

Find the area of each of the pieces.

Answer 1

`area = length \: * \: width \\ = (11)/(2) * (3)/(4) \\ = ((11 * 3))/((2 * 4)) \\ = (33)/(8) \\ area = 4.125 \: {m}^(2) \\ or \\ area = 4 (1)/(8) \: {m}^(2)`
