Question

Which statement best describes the area of the triangle shown below? A coordinate grid is shown with a triangle.. The base is 4 units, and the height is 4 units. A It is one-half the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.

B.It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.
C.It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units.
D.It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Answer 1

Answer:The answer is B.

I just took the test and got it right!!

Explanation:

Have a great day guys!

Answer 2

The answer is B.It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Explanation:

Given a coordinate grid shown with triangle of measurements with base 4 units and height also 4 units.

We have to find the area of triangle which can be calculated as

⇒
`Area=(1)/(2) * base * height`

=
`(1)/(2)* 4 * 4=8squareunits`

we have to choose the statement describes the area of the triangle evaluate above.

Option A: Not matched ∵equals to
`(1)/(2)`[area of rectangle of length 4 units width 2 units]=
`(1)/(2)* 4 * 2=4 sq units`

Option B: matched : given one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

⇒
`(1)/(2)* 4 * 4=8 squnits`

Option C : Not matched : It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units

⇒
`2* length* breadth=2* 4* 2=16 sq units`

Option 4 : Not matched : It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

⇒
`2* 4 * 4=32 squnits`

So, the correct option is B. It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.
