A square is shown below. Which expression can be used to find the area, in square units, of the shaded triangle in the square?

A square with a side length of 8 units is shown. A diagonal is drawn with one section shaded inside the figure.

fraction 1 over 2 ⋅ 4 ⋅ 4
fraction 1 over 4 ⋅ 4 ⋅ 4
fraction 1 over 2 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 8
fraction 1 over 4 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 8

Answer 1

Hence, option 3 is correct.

Explanation:

Given,

Side of a square = 8 units

Also,

The shaded triangles base = Height of the triangle = Side of the square = 8 units.

(Sides of a square are always same)

Hence, area of the shaded triangle will be,

`= (1)/(2) . \: base \: . \: height`

`= (1)/(2) . \: 8 \: . \: 8 \: (ans)`

Answer 2

The answer is b and fraction 1 over 2 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 8
