Question

In the figure PQRS is a rectangle . PQ = 10 centimetres , QR = 4 centimetres . T is a point on the side RS . Side RS is extended and U is a point on this line . a) Find the area of the rectangle . b) Find the area of triangle PTQ . c) Find the area of triangle PUQ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of the rectangle is =10*4= 40

and we know that a triangle and a parallelogram are having same base and inbetween same parallel lines, the area of triangle = 1/2( area of parallelogram)

so PQRS is a parallelogram

so area of PTQ and PUQ will be same and that will be =1/2(40)= 20cm^2
