Question

Mr. Easmon drew triangle​ JKL, with a height of 18 inches and a base of 18 ​inches, and triangle​ XYZ, with a height of 16 inches and a base of 20 inches. Which triangle has the greater​ area.

Answer 1

Answer:ABC has greater area

Explanation:

ABC:

Formula for a triangle is base * height divided by two so:

6*6/2 = 18

RST:

4*8/2= 16

Formula: hb/2

im sorry im im wrong

Answer 2

Triangle JKL

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is :area (A) = (height (H) x base (B)) / 2

You are given the height and base of both triangles, so you just have to plug in the numbers.

Triangles JKL: A = (18 x 18) / 2

A = 162 in^2

Triangel XYZ: A = (16 x 20) / 2

A = 160 in^2

162 is greater than 160, so Triangle JKL has a larger area.
