Look at the picture.

Answer 2

First, calculate the area of the triangle. A=1/2bh. The base is the length of CB (4) and the height is the length from A to the bottom (3):

A=(1/2)(3)(4)

A=6

Now, see which of the choices has an area of 6.

A:

The area of a square is A=s^2. A=4^2=16. 16*2=32

B:

A=4^2=16. 16*(1/2)=8

C:

The area of a rectangle is A=lw. A=4(3)=12. 12(1/2)=6

D:

A=4(3)=12. 12*2=48

C.
