Question

Granny needs to paint a Loge made using two right triangles the dimensions Of the loge are shown below what is the difference between the area of the large triangle in the area of a small triangle

Answer 1

The difference is

Explanation:

Given

Large triangle

`Base = 5cm; Height=9cm`

Small triangle

`Base = 2cm; Height=6cm`

See attachment for logo

Required

The difference in their areas

Area is calculated as:

`Area = 0.5 * base * height`

For the large triangle

`Area = 0.5 * 5cm * 9cm`

`Area = 22.5cm^2`

For the small triangle

`Area = 0.5 * 2cm * 6cm`

`Area = 6cm^2`

The difference (d) is calculated as:

`d = 22.5cm^2 - 6cm^2`

`d = 16.5cm^2`
