Question

A triangle can be formed into a parallelogram as shown in the diagram below. Which equation can be used to find the area of the triangle in the diagram?

F.A = 4⋅6

G.A = 6÷2

H.A = 12
(2⋅6
)
J.A = 12
(4⋅6
)

Answer 1

The diagram is not provided, so it's difficult to determine the exact dimensions of the triangle and parallelogram. However, we can make some general observations to determine which equation can be used to find the area of the triangle.

First, we know that the area of a triangle is given by the formula:

A = 1/2 * base * height

We also know that the area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:

A = base * height

In the diagram, the triangle can be formed into a parallelogram by taking one of its sides and using it as the base of the parallelogram. The height of the parallelogram is the same as the height of the triangle.

Based on these observations, we can conclude that the equation that can be used to find the area of the triangle is:

A = 1/2 * base * height

where the base is one of the sides of the triangle, and the height is the height of the parallelogram (which is the same as the height of the triangle).

None of the answer choices provided match this equation, so the correct answer is not given.

Answer 2

Answer: J. A = 12 (4⋅6).

Explanation:

Answer: J. A = 12 (4⋅6).

This equation can be used to find the area of the triangle in the diagram because it uses the formula for the area of a triangle, which is A = 1/2 * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height. Since the triangle in the diagram has a base of 4 and a height of 6, the equation A = 12 (4⋅6) can be used to find the area.
