Question

A rectangle UVWX is to be cut into two
equal triangles. The sides of the rectangle
are 13 cm and 16 cm. Find the area of the
triangle VWX and the triangle VUX.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

• UVWX is a rectangle
• Length = 16 cm
• Breadth = 13 cm

To Find -

Area of ΔVWX and ΔVUX

As we know that :-

• Area of triangle = ½×base×height

Now,

Area of ΔVWX =

» ½×16×13

» 8 × 13

• » 104 cm²

And

• Area of ΔVUX = Area of ΔVWX

(Bcoz opposites sides of rectangle are equal, so its area is also equal)

Hence,

The area of ΔVUX and ΔVWX is. 104 cm²

Additional information :-

• Area of rectangle = l × b
• Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
• Opposite sides of rectangle are equal.
• Each angle of rectangle is of 90°
