Question

Marianne draws a triangle with the dimensions shown, then she draws a second triangle in which the dimensions are divided by 2. What is the relationship between the areas of the two triangles?

Answer 1

Answer:1/4

Explanation:

Answer 2

1/4

Explanation:

The equation for the area of a triangle: A = 1/2bh

If all of the dimensions are halved then A = 1/2(1/2*b)(1/2*h) = 1/8bh

1/8bh is 1/4 of 1/2bh.
