Question

#6iFind the area of the triangle by forming a parallelogram.Area =units

Answer 1

Form a rectangle, which is a parallelogram, using the triangle as shown below

Thus, the area of the rectangle is

`A_(rectangle)=l*w=7*5=35`

On the other hand, the area of the triangle is half of that of the rectangle; then,

`A_(triangle)=(1)/(2)A_(rectangle)=(35)/(2)=17.5`

The answer is 17.5 square units.
