Question

Which of the following statements about rotating triangles and the areas of figures is true?

A) Rotating the triangles does not change their areas.
B) The areas of the figures in step 1 and step 2 are equal.
C) The triangles created in step 2 have the same area.
D) The area of the figure in step 1 is (a + b)^2.

Answer 1

The areas of the figures in step 1 and step 2 are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about rotating triangles and the areas of figures is:

B) The areas of the figures in step 1 and step 2 are equal.

Rotating a triangle does not change its area, so the areas of the triangles created in step 1 and step 2 will be equal.
