Question

A triangle and a rectangle lie on the same base and between the same parallels. If area or rectangle is 16cm², what is the area of triangle?

Answer 1

Since the rectangle and triangle stands on same Base and between same paralell lines

Base of triangle = Length of rectangle
B = L ------(1)

And, Height of triangle = Width of rectangle
H = b -------(2)

Area of rectangle = 16 cm^2
L *b = 16 cm^2 -------(3)

Area of triangle = (1/2) B*H
= (1/2) L*b ( L= B and b =H)
= 16/2
= 8 cm^2
