Question

The triangle and rectangle belowhave the same area what is the value of w?

(I[m Assuming W =10cm)

Answer 1

the formula for area of a triangle is 1/2 times the base (4 cm) times the height (5 cm) so the area of the triangle would be 10 cm. to find the area of the rectangle you would divide 10 by 4, which means that w=2.5 cm
