Question

Triangle PRQ is reflected over the Y-axis to form an image of triangle P' R' Q'. Show work to justify that the two triangles have the same area.

Answer 1

The area is the same since in both cases we have the same height and the same base

Explanation:

We have that the area of the triangle is given by the following formula:

`A=(b\cdot2)/(2)`

We have that for triangle it would be:

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} A_1=(3\cdot2)/(2)=3 \\ A_2=(3\cdot2)/(2)=3 \end{gathered}`
