Question

If the rectangle below has an area of 32 sq. units, what is the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

here, on this as the measure of triangle is alredy given separately we don'tneed its area. We just can use formula of area of triangle and simpfy it to get answer.

the measures of perpendicular (p)= 8

and base (b)=4

now, area of triangle (a)=1/2×b×p

or, a = 1/2 ×4×8

by simplifying it we get 16 sq.units.

hope it helps...

Answer 2

B. 16 sq. units

Explanation:

If you divide the rectangle, you will get 2 triangles. Therefore you will divide your answer from the rectangle by two.
