Question:

Jordan is cutting a 2 meter by
1(1)/(4) meter piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along its diagonal. what is the area of each of the pieces?

Answer:

Area of each piece of paper is
$1 (1)/(4) \ m^2$ .

Solution:

Length of the paper = 2 m

Width of the paper =
1(1)/(4) m =
(5)/(4) m

Area of the rectangle = length × width

$=2* (5)/(4)

$$= (5)/(2) \ m^2$

Diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts.

Area of each piece = Area of the rectangle ÷ 2

$=( (5)/(2))/(2)

$$=(5)/(4) \ m^2$

$$=1 (1)/(4) \ m^2$

Area of each piece of paper is
$1 (1)/(4) \ m^2$ .
