Question

James drew a scaled version of Triangle J using a scale factor of 4 and labeled it Triangle K. The base of triangle J is 5 units and the height of triangle J is 4. What is the area of triangle K?

Answer 1

160

Explanation:

If the scale factor is 4, we would have to multiply the height and width by 4

4*5=20

4*4=16

Now to find the area of the triangle using the formula (20*16)/2

That equals to 160
