Question

The figure ABCD is a rectangle. AB = 2 units, AD = 4 units, and AE = FC = 1 unit.Find the area of triangle ABE.

Answer 1

Area of triangle ABE can be calculated using the formula 1/2 x b xh

From the question,

base b = AE = 1

height h =AB = 2

substitute the values into the formula

`A=(1)/(2)*1*2`

Area = 1 square unit
