Question

Señora Cruz will use four triangles on the door decor. How many square centimeters of paper will Señora Cruz use to create the triangles?

Triangle has bases as 3.7 and height as 6.8

Square has length as 7.5 and width as 3.9

Answer 1

50.32 cm²

Explanation:

The area of a triangle can be computed using the formula ...

A = 1/2bh

For a triangle with base 3.7 cm and height 6.8 cm, the area is ...

A = 1/2(3.7 cm)(6.8 cm) = 12.58 cm²

__

For four (4) triangles, Señora Cruz will need 4 times this area:

4 × (12.58 cm²) = 50.32 cm²

Señora Cruz will need 50.32 cm² of paper to create her door decor.
