Question

Gary is playing the role of the Greek god Zeus in a school play. He carries a lightning bolt cut from plywood. Its dimensions are shown in the figure.



What is the area of the wooden cutout of the lightning bolt?

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of wooden cutout = Area of triangle I + Area of triangle II = 1/2 x base x height of triangle I + 1/2 x base x height of triangle II

Since both the triangles have the same dimensions, we can take 1/2 common.

Thus, area of wooden cutout = 1/2 [(3x10) + (3x10)] = 1/2 x 60 = 30 sq. inches
