PQRS is Square T & U are respectively, the
midpoints of ps& QR . Find the area of ∆ OTS
if PQ= 8cm, where is the point of intersection
of TU and QS?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. PQRS is a square where PQ=8cm which means PQ=QR=RS=8cm.
2. T and U are mid points of PS and QR, so when we draw a line from T to U the midpoint of that line becomes O
3. as we want the area of triangleOTS the side
4. OT becomes half of the side PQ which is 8÷2=4
5. side TS becomes half of the side PS=8÷2=4
6. Now ,the area of a triangle=1/2×b×h
7. 1/2×4×4=8sqcm.
8. therefore, area of triangleOTS=8sqcm and the intersection point is at O
